The Memory Speaks

The Memory Speaks

I leave…
But…I come back — again.  Again
I’ll return
    through time’s opening doors,
…Fleeting through peripheral halls
    — their floors — so well cleaned 
    and polished to such perfection, I see
How they mirror my changing face ~ 
Traveling 
Off in the hours
    leading away from the  withheld moments
That come
        Spirited
               Forth
                   Again…Again
Bringing to life scenes and speech

From the heart’s guarded treasury
To be 
    annointed with your sighs…

Ink Empress Date: 5/4/2024 10:54:00 PM Dear sally, sometimes we may leave but we return because we see a part of us that resonate with us, around in that specific place. Brilliant and heartfelt write. I love really the arrangement of your words too! So clever and creative! Artistically delivered. Pleasure always reading your work. I especially loved “ From the heart’s guarded treasury To be annointed with your sighs…” lovely so soulful! So good to see you post more now. Sending you light always
Sotto Poet Date: 5/4/2024 8:46:00 PM Saly your poetry is at its most beautiful, exploring the recursive power of memory to reawaken long-forgotten memories. Great concepts centered on memories, introspection, and the feelings they generate were brilliantly expressed by you.
