~ visiting memories ~

where did the years go?
i clasp a memory
here and there

threads of memories
sewn erratically
stitched impulsively
in life's tapestry

patches of memories
carefully unfolding
releasing time
releasing tears

the joy and sadness
mingle passionately
as my moods shift
in visiting memories...
