Adam Piper Poet I do not know?

The Attic

Rummaging through the past
In boxes closed by time
Opening all your memories
Of life left behind

Smiles cross your lips
Tears hide behind your eyes
Faded memories come flooding back
Of life left behind

Photographs taken
Moments made eternal
Letters written
Thoughts inscribed in journals

Thinking back
Remembering the good and the bad
Thinking back
On life that you once had

September 7, 2008 at 9:49 AM Thanks for suggesting this poem. It is a nice compliment to mine. Now, if they ever have an anthology for memories we're set. Love the nastalgic feel of this poem. The second stanza describes the emotion related to visiting the past well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for your kind comment on mine. Keep on writing! Karen
