Memories Poem by Alnaver Baltazar
Memories
Is it possible to just turn our backs on yesterday?
Is it that easy to set aside everything that happened?
Are we just going to keep everything that have passed in a closet?
Each and every piece of memory
…is something that’s worth looking back
…is something that my soul would embrace.
Like the wind,
Even though we can’t see it, we can feel its presence.
Like the rain,
Even if how small each drops is, it can be drowning.
Like the stars during the day,
We can’t see it but we know that they are there.
Like the moon, staring at us every night
… Even on a gloom.
For my father

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. As was qouted by Pierce Harris: '' Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away a mong its treasured things '', So we cannot have any control in recalls that we get from the past and these memories of ours shape differently in our body and mind creating sometimes a pleasant effect and sometimes leave us with melancholy.....A very beautiful poem.....10
