(Plaster sculpture by Kathie 1998) Memories are shadows that cling to your thoughts,
Memories are ghosts that know no time,
Haunting you day and night.
Memories are clouds that block out the sun,
The fog in the morning,
The mist on the lake.
Memories are the wind, rushing in,
Disturbing the cobwebs
And rushing out again.
Memories are a never ending record,
Repeating, repeating,
Teasing, laughing, convicting,
An endless echo of times gone by.
~Kathie (11-7-74)

ReplyDeleteHaunting! The repetition of "memories" contributes the the feeling of those repeated visits of memories that flit and perch like birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
