VJs Weekly Challenge – Bits And Pieces

“Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.” Thomas Fuller
Never Forgotten
That one moment where you create time
when there isn’t time and you dare to
venture to the cupboard,
to the draw full of
silvered memories,
the symbols of a life in a
house of histories,
restored to mind and yet,
never forgotten,
rubber seals and old matches,
that old separator spanner,
a marble, a pen, a tack,
candles for birthdays,
the rest are nameless now,
these bits and pieces of a
resurrection.

Love the quote and your verse, Paul. I enjoy picking through treasures from the past. They evoke such vivid memories of people, places and events.

I feel like as we are shut in, we are more aware of the bits and pieces around us. Somedays I want to just clear it all out. Nice one, Paul.

Yes, we did some clearing early on, but we have been picking over the bones of memory too. Thank you VJ
