Memories in Place

Memories in Place

A Poem by Footprints al carbon
"

You can't escape what you can't reach. You can't become what you already are.

"
Deep in dark archives of time,
     under waves of the rolling sand,
     swaying unnoticed in caves of refuge, 
     pulsing in unison on shifting seas;

Dust accumulated from another season,
     winds of time pushed solemnly ahead,
     vintage gems from days forgotten,
     the kind that have the sharpest edge;

All it takes is the call of whisper,
     the kinetic cause of time exposed,
     a glint of shimmer has gone abysmal,
     like a spark of light in sunset's glow;

Nudge of fame in a timeless moment,
     wishes grasped from below the knees,
     a weight so stout it failed to notice,
     the tether that keeps your mind in peace;

The rank of memory - a long endeavor,
     when to discover a treasured place,
     the kind of frame that's long been standing,
     the kind that holds your smiling face.
