Empty Piece Of Memory Poem by Ragy Sandid

Give me an empty piece of memory
Where I can fill what's to come
That old faded melody
Still sounds in my ears with a hum.

What keeps the old ones
Just keeping popping up?
Aren't these all just said and done?
Old images onslaught that won't stop

I need to plan for a plot
Where I plant memories that I want
Where ts don't's cross and I's don't dot
And I have copyright to haunt

Every niche, nook and cranny reminds me
Of a past that wasn't supposed to be so
How do these darn images just find me?
How can I replace now with things I chose to let go?

So crammed with filled up space
That I hardly am able to push in the new
Now I hope to fall in God's good grace
And replace that one with a new memory sinew

Then how can I live without my memories?
The one that made me who I am today?
That ones that pushed me past ceremonies
That people painted as a prayer I pray

We need sad to make happy
And memory is the catalyst
If only these two make it snappy
I'm ready to redeem what my mind resists
