Memories Garden Poem by Shihabudheen K J

what are memories?
i asked myself! !
got some questions instead of solutions!

Are they just passing seasons!
unknown mysteries and uninvited pain beyond time line! ?
ignited moments happened without our knowledge?
silent waves swept across our ancestral cornfields?
play and drive of whom we say'god'?
or
just the cool saying 'once upon a time! '

A historian told me its history of wars
A doctor recommended nothing less than a brain scan
A soldier showed me bullets he failed to shoot
A priest made a deep sigh'i forgot to marry! '

A teacher recollected her noble years of words
A mother remarked its long waited first cry of her baby
A baby found it in the warmth of her mom's hugs and dad's care
A nun travelled through her silent years of patience and service

Finally the poet remarked
'emotions recollected in tranquility'
not verses but memories,
he should be corrected!
