Sitting By The Fire Poem by Rayan Ali

Sitting by the fire
Watching the flames
Of the dying embers
That burn so slow
When the sun hides
Itself away in the
Curtains of the skies.

Watching these seconds
As they pass away
I wonder in the
Box of memories which
Lies in one corner of my mind
The memories, which sink deeply
Into the seconds
Which had passed long since.

They are memories which
Always kept me going
They are memories which
Are always lying in one corner
Of everyone’s mind, whether
They realize it or not
The memories in which some
May see themselves un-recognized.

Memories that one can
Always remember and think
Of what a lovely time
It was back then
But sometimes, it goes
The other way
Sometimes it’s not enough
To live upon just our past.

Sometimes, we have to
Live on what we have
And push away everything
That comes in the way
Of our open road of life
And perhaps we could
Save these memories
And be happy with
Having them in that
Corner of our mind
And then these memories
Could never be erased.
