Memory Crumbs

Treasure each moment

By Maria A. PerezPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Time mocks me

So each moment

Becomes

A precious jewel

To be treasured

A decadent treat

To be savored

Until fate runs its course

And my soul

Is left in poverty

To live off

Memory crumbs

About the Creator

Maria A. Perez

Author of the romantic space opera trilogy, The Curse of Sotkari Ta, its prequel, Song of the Caged Warrior, and a poetry book. As a diehard “Trekkie” and Star Wars fan, I'm fascinated by what lies beyond the unexplored reaches of space.
