A Reminder. Poem by Fay Slimm

A Reminder.

Rating: 4.7


A bunch of dried heather
Now faded.
Long dead,
Still sits in a vase on
A table.
And
My bed
Faces it, surely I
Must obey
Reason
And throw it, with mem'ries
Away, then
Move on.

Go find a new memory to replace those old flowers you must bury to put old memories in their place It does not mean you have to forget For a living plant you will never regret

Yes, we should but the heart can be so unreasonable as to hang onto bittersweet memories!

Long after any hope has gone. Long after the beauty and scent of reminiscence has left. Long after the charms of nostalgia have deserted us. How long we cling to those memories. Very enjoyable.
