Memories

Possess you, the power to elevate
ones mood, and make one feel Elite.
You can make one, plunge into melancholy,
For the reason that may sound too silly.

Plethora of happiness, from memories 
you derive
Possess they  the power, to make departed 
folks alive.
As though, to the past we are clung.
Like a kite held by the string.

But then, comes the ceaseless time.
And helps fade the memories 
once thought, prime.
Engrossed deeply in one's chores, 
the life goes on..
Realising that, one can't reclaim 
the days foregone.

Shed your tears in happiness or sorrow 
in those memories.
But soon, put it aside in the treasury.
Cause, the time circle waits for none.
Until on this earth, one's life is done.

Hello Yogita Guray, so nice to meet you. Some memories are sad, make a person cry. They cry until the tears are shed. Some memories are happy so there are tears of joy. Enjoy your day my friend.
