Soundscapes Of Memory... Poem by Adrian Wait

Memories of laughter
Of Joy and belonging
Memories of sorrow
Of pain and grief
Memories of discovery
Of falling in Love…

Memories of people,
Of times and places
Memories of moments
Of the beyondness
Memories too fleeting
Of decisions soon past…

Memories of heartache
Of opportunities unlearned
Memories of forgiveness
Of times so wilfully spurned
Memories of Kindness
Of Renewal and chance…

Memories of smells, sounds
Of ages past so near
Memories oft revisited
Of memories glimpsed
Memories suddenly evoked
By our acoustic Soundscapes…

Memories are not lost
Oft they go astray, grow dim
Memories precious, life within
Of life without time, space to be
Memories last longer than Dreams
Of such treasures, Life is created…
