An Excavation
In my mind
Buried deep
Are memories
To which I leap
A little time without frustration
I start digging, excavating
What do I want to re-explore today?
Comedy, Thriller or Romantic
I enjoy looking back
Hard as times were
I pushed through and emerged
That’s what brings me back from the verge
Fascinating how far one can dig
As far as infancy
To those little clips of my life
That I remember so vividly
Change is just in the body
The mind remains intact
The same for all my life
I made with myself a pact
To excavate whenever I feel low
A happy memory
That makes me smile instantly
And this, I consider a victory.
