Memories

In the distance beyond the eyes' sight Through the mist of faded light A glow sparks with will and power To fight the darkness of the mist's tower For the glow was hidden until.... Fear crept into the distance's heart with a shrill As it perished slowly into dust This glow began shining brighter than ever Where a shield of glass was clever To protect its treasure from its surrounding danger But as the glow appeared.... Deep inside, a secret is revealed It stated that the glow represents memories That are always within everyone's mind Even though some memories are hidden and forgotten Time will pass, and it'll reach out again For memories are never lost But they are always posted on the walls Of every person's thought that calls Though sometimes neglect reaches upon And mist of forget has its work done As it spreads its disease within everyone Moments are bricks that build up a house Embedding memories to keep it tough Having these glows of memory always help In remembering tough monuments that were once dwelt Memories are pillows of comfort and sadness When destroyed, its feathers would harness And onto strings it would cling Hoping to be rescued by its mighty king
