Once Upon a Memory
Glass drops,
breaks in a thousand shards
every glimmer tells you
of moments
you wish you hadn’t lost.
Broken, bent,
taken out of conscience
those memories were part
of who you are.
If you give up,
let them fly to the corners,
stay in twilight
of one remembrance
they will become your ghosts
for life.
Don’t let regrets seep in,
take with you what was gone,
you can find yourself
once again
once upon a love
a long time ago
or just now.
What you have gone through
and the path
you lighted up in passing
stay to remind you of the colors
your soul takes when happiness
lingers on threshold
of home
in spirit of moonlight devotion.
