Memories of past year-
Still fresh in my heart.
Hours of sweetness, sounds of tingling laughter
Moments of anguish and touch of warm tears.
all is intact under the wrinkled sheets of time.
I greet the New year, yet
Bidding goodbye to old is hard.
The year 2023 will never be forgotten!
It’s life changing occurrence,
Lasting impressions,
Countless vague and foggy moments,
Restless and soothing flashbacks!
All is over whelming!
Yet holding on to all of it is comforting.
Each day though trying to live a normal routine
I want to keep the memories of past year alive.
An old note, a conversation, a smell, a taste,
A reminding note of a bill to be paid,
Cancelling a doctor’s appointment( no longer needed)!
All of it fills my day.
To know and feel time’s unbroken flow
A closeness to past is needed to grow.
When by the river we never touch the same water again,
But just to go by the river
And touch the new flow in old surroundings is comforting.
Even when greeting the New year
It is assuring to be surrounded with old memories.
