Memories

Moments, once held, vanished like spider webs.
Whispers held captive, like tides, too soon ebb.

Thank you so much for your comments, Brian. It's also sad to see memories disappear in a once vibrant mind.

Wonderful, wistful write in two lines Ann. Words to ponder. Memories to savor while they last! Congratulations.

How profound, love the metaphor of the spider web, memories can be so fragile~

Thanks for your kind words, Michelle. After writing it, I thought it sounded like senility. But, I guess, lost memories are a form of senility. I still remember the dress I wore on my first real date, but forget names I knew 10 yrs ago :)
