MEMORIES AND GHOSTS
MEMORIES AND GHOSTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Memories flicker like fireflies,*
each one a tiny spark,
lighting the shadows of my mind—
the laughter of family,
the warmth of a lover’s embrace,
the bittersweet taste of farewells.
They hover just beyond reach,
fading like a ghost,
yet vivid, like the last notes of a song
lingering in the air.
*Note: The phrase 'memories flicker like fireflies' is a common phrase used in poetry and literature. It's not my original phrase. Giving credit where credit's due.
