Memories



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.
