Mementos on the Moon Ideas

3d music bot that makes hearts swoon
Is what I’d leave melodies on the moon

Musical notes float like a magical mirror
Reflecting views of places applicable to each song
The notes can gather and form a body that dances
Or dissolve like sand to create lands sang about

For instance a song about the sea would be watery
The notes would

Healing touch of cherished things

In quiet dim corners and drawers untouched,
Lie precious things, much cherished and clutched,
These cold inanimate things, just like a friend,
Can ease our troubles, and ill feelings amend.
Each memento and much used everyday things,
Are something special, for the comfort each treasure brings.
It's not just any old clock, that's revered, it's only that one.
With its unique tick

Simple

I like to travel, to be unknown. 
I like to dwell in the eyes of strangers. 
I like first impressions and new beginnings, and I don't ever like them to end. 
I like it when people narrate their stories and try to be nice. 
I like it when I don't have time to overthink.

I love

The Mementos, of My Mother

When our mother passed
Family went through her stuff
Most of what she owned
Went into the garbage
I sorted through the garbage
As I did this I came across
A plain keepsake box

A plain dull keepsake box
Curious I grabbed the box
Opened the box to find
An eighteen carrot gold ring
From that day on I kept
Both the keepsake box
I wear the ring

Relics

I struck the flint against the steel
sending sparks showering over
the tinder I’d arranged in the pit
topped with the single bit of char cloth
from the tin of my fire starting kit
Not many know how to do that these days
The weight of what I was about to do
demanded the old ways
Breathing life into the flames I fed

Mementos

A grey movie playing with quicksilver moments create murals of memories. Strolling a beach arm in arm, did the wind blow away something ? Sands of time slipped beyond grasp, but never stopped. Wounds healed, scars never faded though.

Aroused Memories From An Incense Stick

Swirling twirling wisps of smoke,
Fragrant and pure threads of dreams,
Soft as new laces,
Dreamy with a touch of sleep,
Sanity, it’s hard to keep,
Dreams finally coming true,
Long forgotten stories alive,
Worlds all at once trying to strive,
Images flashing like bolts of lightening,
Those old days forging to the front,
Old memories suddenly arising,
Across mementos treasured so long,
Searching for something,
I find

Mementos of Water

Lilly pads watch infinity.
Floating on still waters,
Frogs sigh.
Flowers glide to God Almighty.
Alluring admirers,
Birds fly.

Mementos Gathering Dust

Mementos Gathering Dust    
     
Small pottery animals and a bowl, a glass etching of a unicorn in a leaded frame and silver chain, drawings of cartoons. Mementos of my sons sit on shelves or hang on my walls gathering dust.

Now my grandchildren’s drawings and love letters hang on

Mementos From a Hidden Waterfall

Closing my eyes
I bring back the vision
Of a hidden waterfall
A breathtaking sight
Of water cascading
Over stubborn rock
And other things.

Over time
Rocks and boulders,
And everything else
Lodged in the river,
Will give way
To rushing water
Charging ahead
In its relentless flow
Downriver.

Of all things
On Earth
I think
Water will outlast
The possessions
We feel are important
The toys
The gadgets
The rockets to the moon
And all things human.
