FLOWERS OF MEMORIES

As long as your
memory is sharp and alert
and
as long as you keep
an album of recollections
of your childhood, teens,
youth, middle-age and old age
parents, siblings and relatives,
friends and enemies, familiar
and unfamiliar faces
even a single
incident or sight
delightful or painful
no recollections could be
deleted
like it or not.
As soon as flowers of
your memory
start to fade away
your album of recollections
too get blurred
ending at last in
a vacuum
you become no longer ‘you’
but somebody else.
What a pity it?
Keep an alert, sharp
memory
album of recollections would
stay evergreen.
