I pen this poem and think fondly of my departed parents in the afterlife -- my father left in July 1998, and my mother since April 2013 -- with feelings of gratitude and love.

MEMORY
By Leon Enriquez


Ripples in time
Echoes and chimes
Meet misty mimes


Etch in olde sketch
Moments that match
Blur missing patch

~~~~~~~~~


End marks strange start
Rest broken heart
Ink stains word art


Now and Here streams
Glimpse of new dreams
Meet thus new theme

~~~~~~~~~


You in times past
Dance with odd cast
Ending at last


Prize the old days
Tryst simple stay
Rest of end play

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of plain fare
Explains odd wares
Describe strange cares


Pulse in lost strains
Apt as old pains
Report lost gain

~~~~~~~~~


Exit odd fate
Note broken state
Thoughts at the gate


Stillness allots
Sleep beyond plot
Ice cold last slot

~~~~~~~~~


Mind gone away
Old textures stay
Notes yesterday


Ask that the light
Niche warm and bright
Dance and dream flight

~~~~~~~~~


Ere time slides past
Now frames sad cast
Glimpse truth at last


Nice feel greets grace
Echoes now trace
Opt smiles in place

~~~~~~~~~


Etch odd ripple
Note cold drizzle
Rich feel dazzles


Ink stains thus dwell
Quest that prompts tell
Urge in new spell

~~~~~~~~~


Embrace due calm
Zeal spreads fine balm
Here in wise psalm


Etch of new hymn
Rich precious theme
End of old dream

~~~~~~~~~
