Solitude

The secrets we tuck away, Locked within our memory, Ghostly images hover, In quiet solitude they will rise. Date: Feb. 23, 2022 For: Bite Size No. 37 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

I assume the main reason they reason is so we can take a better look at them, put them in proper perspective and heal from the energy of understanding and forgiveness, love your luminated words of wisdom , you are deep as the ocean, :)

Yes, this can happen. Just like difficult memories rarely shared, returning in nightmares too. Well done :)

Haunting little write, Paulette~well said. Nothing is ever entirely forgotten -- not joy nor pain. We are far more ghostly images than we know, the history of mankind tucked away in our DNA.

Indeed! I think it is safe to say we all share in this common melancholy of memories. :)Paulette
