Shreya Ln Poet Rhyme

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.
