Splitting Atoms of Memory
as my torso
slipped past
pastel waterlilies,
I noticed with a start
a light glinting
off each petal,
then smearing
it in rainbows
of threads
it was as if,
water dimensions
were letting me
slip through,
and peek
illusions took hold
and as each shimmer
turned into a memory,
I immersed,
and waterfall-ed
without doubt
I swam through
sadness, thick swamps
hiding horrors
and joy streams
trickling playfully
with the laughter
of life
sickness stopped
everything,
and all is damned
thrice,
and the health
of a bubbling brook
spoke to me
in whispers
but as I swum into
a crystal sea,
I watched
all memory merging
into who we had become,
and how our memories
helped shape us …
in my own reminisce
I had forgotten
every memory
is shared,
and stored
in the river
of time
that I now float,
in a papyrus boat
