Crystal Memories

I search my closet looking through previous chapters I find a box filled with colored gems This royal blue one symbolizing my time in the deep, majestic sea looking for treasure and swimming with mermaids Throwing away black and bloody red jewels I find this cyan one containing the memories of me flying in the skies smiling at the celestial angels as I land on the ground after the helicopter ride I look at heaven in its fullest glory Finally, this jade crystal emanating nostalgia years ago when I was in a forest filled with elm, maple, peach, apple, and cherry blossom trees dancing under the leaves and cherry blossoms blown by gentle wind as I sway to instinctive rhythm with a folding fan but alas it is time to put them back into the chest and move on with the present
