Memories

What are memories?
is it just a thing happened in the past?
or perhaps something experienced in the course of life,
which stores itself in a file.

The journeys we undertake,

or the occasions which we celebrate,
the times of ecstasy and rapture,
or is it what our camera captures.

Memories are not just a mere remembrance,

there are some which stay at the heart’s essence,
but some are left only with traces,
and a small number left with no reminiscence.

Memories arouse the sensation of nostalgia,

with perpetuity in its possession,
shedding tears at the lost sweet times,
while laughing at the bitter gone times.

Memories drive us back,

providing consolation during the black,
sometimes we never know the value of a moment,

until it becomes an ever-living memory.
