MEMORIES…

 I sat back on my chair

In the lonely silence of the night,

Thoughts whirled in my mind

Like silky threads,

That gradually began to define themselves.

 

A familiar peal rang in the distance

The room dissolved into a huge square,

I found myself amidst a sea of blue and white

Looking around,

Searching…

 

Yes, there I was…

Walking among them

At a developing pace, talking and laughing,

Falling in line;

An exciting day, full of promises…

 

A slight change of view

And yes, there I was yet again!

This time running and sweating,

Dribbling the ball, throwing a pass,

Frustrated at a miss…

 

A few yards beyond

I found myself once again!

Dozing off on the hard wood of my desk,

A droning voice humming in my ears

‘Smack!’, I was pushed out of my reverie...

 ................

 Memories…

They shower on you in a deluge,

Leaving you with no refuge…

 

With a sinking hollow in my heart

I stared unblinkingly at the blank wall,

Silent tears streamed down my face…

Smudging the words that formed

My ‘Memories…’
