Paint my memories the color of dreams,
shade them with nuances,
both brilliant and subtle of hue.
Give them form and texture,
warmth and life,
that i may always hold
dear the wonder of living.
No matter how dreary or bland
existence has or will become,
remembrance will entertain me.
Give me perfect recollection
of the finest times, smell and
savor, texture, emotion,
that i may be brave in the face
of adversity and calm in times
of crisis. Not so vivid they force
me to live in the past, merely
to sustain me through the future,
and reassure me of peace.
