Ocean Of Memory Poem by Kavitha Krishnamurthy

I dived inside the ocean of memory
And went deeper and deeper
Everything around me went still
My life began to rewind

Flashing images from my past
The sorrows and the pains
The joy and the gains
I wanted some moments to stay for ever
And some to disappear fast

My whole life came before my eyes
Then everything became blank
I was still, everything around me became dynamic
I slowly returned back to the present

The ocean of memory is so vast
As life goes on, it grows bigger
I do make many voyages
Some so enthralling
Some full of pain

But my heart doesn’t agree
It always wants to swim in this ocean
