POEM 27: RELIVING MEMORIES (II)

As I traveled on past's path
debris of memories litter the ground
flooding my heart with smiles smiled
and cries cried
and friends had
flash by like lightening in a night sky,
exposing grey clouds sneaking by.

And I remembered...
Precious memories
how they linger in my soul.

I peeked into the past to say goodnight,
to memories I left behind.
Then I heard my a voice in a corner
It said, 
"...and for my darling damsel,
scarlet ribbons for her hair."
I fine tuned my receptors
I recognized the voice.
Mine
I peeked in through the window blind
I saw the boy on his knees, 
with closed eyes
He's me.

And I remembered...
Precious memories
how they linger in my soul.

All the prayers gone unanswered 
captured by time's timely shutters.
Though last night was dark and bare. 
All the wishes wished by bedtime
recorded by the walls ever listening ears
slowly slowly played back again.

And I remembered...
Precious memories
how they linger in my soul.
