The Attic

Rummaging through the past In boxes closed by time Opening all your memories Of life left behind Smiles cross your lips Tears hide behind your eyes Faded memories come flooding back Of life left behind Photographs taken Moments made eternal Letters written Thoughts inscribed in journals Thinking back Remembering the good and the bad Thinking back On life that you once had

Thanks for suggesting this poem. It is a nice compliment to mine. Now, if they ever have an anthology for memories we're set. Love the nastalgic feel of this poem. The second stanza describes the emotion related to visiting the past well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for your kind comment on mine. Keep on writing! Karen
