Time passes
The wind whispers your name.
Thoughts pass
The mind holds them in vain.
The soul grasps
To the memories in pain.
Why must these memories fade?
~
Do I recall that which I lost?
The time spent for the highest of cost.
Love is paid from the bond which is made.
As life goes forward with or without a way.
Why must these memories fade?
~
Some may be unburdened, for memories weigh down.
Some may be melancholy, for there is something to be found…
“The memories carry lessons, leaving messages to be read Signs upon the threads… Anchors upon the lines of the mind…”
Why must these memories fade?
~
Loss and gain
Happiness and pain
Sorrow and shame
Through all we overcame…
Why must these memories fade?
~
They leave shadows
Shadows are not memories
A shadow is but darkness cast in the presence of light
it is not the light, only a glimpse
Time passes and the wind whispers your name.
Thoughts pass and the mind holds on in vain.
The soul grasps on to the memories in pain.
Why must these memories fade?
