Memories

Memories are written on water

Life has many on offer

To reminisce, the mind we arrest

That effort will not let us rest 

Memories evaporate into thin air 

When time has nothing left to spare

There is no one left to claim

Once a treasure, it’s now aflame 

Memories set imaginations on fire

Stoking the embers of desire

With the sense’s unflinching loyalty

The ego maintains its buoyancy

Memories, sequestered in a space

Reserved for the dawn of grace

For the better or for the worse

Memories, we’re drawn to immerse
