The present fades through the eons
reopening the doors , thoughts drift in
embraced by reminiscent recollections
images linger before the eyes
echoes with the laughter of happy times
a fragrance of sublime warmth
impregnates the air
along with some
remnants of the dark days too
under the musty cobwebs of time
the mind meanders back into the alleys
clings on to those experiences
be it coated with a tinge of bitterness
or laced with wistful moments,
for everything that passes
leaves behind memories
unique and special to each one
intricately woven into timeless treasures!!
Past defines a person!
Am I stretching importance of “past” too far?

Agree Abhay that past defines a person to a large extent. But one should not let it overwhelm the present!

The true treasure of life, the past we cannot go back seems like a distant dream, the present and longing for the future makes the journey exciting. A gem Radhika.

Love how your memories stir so many thoughts Radhika…reflections that remind us of our journey through the corridors of life!
Memories are like wafts of breeze that make the dark moments too smile, as the amalgamation of happy and not so happy hours leave us wondering how we could add some beauty to our lives…how well we could handle them and those that slipped by chiseled our personalities. 🙂

Great poem Rahika,
indeed past is very important for us, humans. I believe that we should learn from our past a lot, but we must be careful, and we do not need to burden much with her,because we must live in the present moment ! Thank you
