We walk through our ordinary days
Trying to get from here to there
with different pieces missing
We sometimes stumble across them
Some have a tenuous hold
Some are more recognizable
stirring unexpected inspirations
The memories begin as a ripple
almost imperceptible, but rising
until they are ready to stand and deliver
a smile in our hearts against the gray of loss
that we pass through every day
Leaving the irretrievable far behind
