Unearthing The Precious Memories

Wandering the valleys of her mind, reminiscing,

Over obstacles, periods of hardship and sorrow,

Looking under crevices, inside darkened caves,

Witnessing the days of yesteryear and not those of tomorrow.

***

She often walks the dusty halls of her archives,

In search of the wonderful lessons she has learned,

Those of bittersweet words and lingering touches,

To those she wallowed in pity when horribly burned.

***

She climbs the vines of forgetfulness,

Scrounging through the dumped trash of past rejection,

She scuffles through the age old memories,

Until she uncovers one of such sheer perfection.

***

There she visits for awhile,

Remembering,

The wonderful minutes of all she experienced,

And those feelings that left her trembling.

***

The nights of passionate love,

The sharing of her past with that one so dear,

Surrendering into open arms of comfort,

Trusting he’ll deliver her from her worst fear.

***

The early morning conversations,

Whispered into ears of silent understanding,

Of long lost dreams, goals and wishes,

As he loves her with his entire heart, fulfilled and undemanding.

***

The pride he wore upon his face,

When introducing her to his life,

His family, his friends,

His commitment as he made her his wife.

***

The shoulder he gave her to lean on,

His strength hers to use at will,

Loving and learning her every need,

His world offered in humbleness to fulfil.

***

Her very wish is his to command,

As he worships the very ground beneath her feet,

His thoughts never far from her wisdom,

Knowing she made him complete.

***

All this she stumbles upon while searching,

In the deepest, darkest of crevices and cracks,

Until she unearths the greatest memory of all,

Studying her find, measuring the parallax.

***

She once struck gold within this moment,

And tried to hold on tight,

But the good times slipped through her fingers,

As their love gave up the fight.

***

Now she’s left with these golden memories,

Ones that hurt so she buried them deep,

But now enough time has bypassed the ending,

And she’s unearthing the precious memories she wishes to keep.
