Where Memories Dwell Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

I wonder,
if the longest memories
live in the heart or the mind,
or are they entwined?
Is it my heart that relives
the memory or is my mind flipping
through the pages that often bring
a smile or tear?
I do know,
It is my heart that aches,
yet my hand reaches to soothe my brow.
Once again you are the memory of
my heart's discontent and I sing
the melody of you in whispers.
