Poem "Memory Holder"

Memory holder

By Elizabeth Parada

Your presence fades

Like smoke

To keep it close 

I speak of you, 

I think of you.

You may be gone

Yet live in me.

I’m a memory holder,

A memory keeper 

A memory hoarder

A memory reaper

To catch your smile,

cradle it close,

Your silly thoughts 

Your brilliant mind 

To make you mine 

Though you are gone

To keep you close 

I speak of you,

I think of you. 

You may be gone

Yet live in me.

I’m a memory holder.

New beginning

Slowly, gently, waves fade

Earlier, the engine’s vibration 

Penetrated my insides

Its energy moving me,

thunderously shaking me 

Now faded

Water’s fluid motion waiting

For a new beginning
