Snippets........

 Snippets of memoriesPlay themselves through one’s mindScreen missing, yet seen as clear as dayLeaving one with the wish that it could be some other way Snippets of memoriesJagged bits of life come and goneSome remembered with no pain, no achingOthers remembered with plenty of ache, taking and leaving strain Snippets of memoriesLong forgotten pieces of puzzles,Moments that have made life what it is todayThough some of these pieces seem to be missing, lost Snippets of memoriesFading and solidifying in the mists of timeViewed as though through the eyes of anotherFelt, as though they were so real, strangling, leaving one to smother Snippets of memoriesLeaving one feeling safe, lovedEncouraging in their words long since spokenEven though more often than not, promises contained therein have been broken Snippets of memoriesThe very make up of who we areThe past that haunts, taunts and drives fearThe future that whispers the promise of dreams fulfilled Snippets of memoriesSo vital in their existenceAs needed as the next breath of airLeaving one feeling like they can go, can be anywhere
