Sudeshna revisits memories jam packed inside a closet in this evocative verse.
I found a closet
Right at my doorstep
Worn and rusty
Dented and dusty
Gently, I opened it
Slowly, bit by bit
Jam packed inside
Memories reside
Ordered and labeled
Grainy and graveled
Long forgotten episodes
Incidents and anecdotes
Faded jaded sepia
Full of cornucopia
A warm glow of light
A furious sibling fight
A journey of exploration
Sweaty jovial vibrations
A voyage of discovery
Unique of any trickery
Golden family ties
A preserve of memories lie
A pickle of hearty laughter
Each loving character
Nostalgic painful but enriching
Each and every moment bewitching
Time had not aged
Forever I could gaze
All my gems and gold
Memories of dear ones I hold
Slowly I locked the closet once more
To reminisce again …ever more!
