Memories Echo Back at Me
I feel the fuzzy carpet
and the floorboards creak
beneath my feet, in the morning.
I touch the wall with my hands as I walk in
the hallway. I feel grooves and markings.
Memories echo back at me.
The midnights are lit by the moon.
Even though
I’m sleeping.
Hugs and kisses
blessings and wishes.
Memories echo back at me.
A wardrobe filled with clothes
Pink, yellow, blue and green.
With small intricate jewelry
lying on the ground.
Time clicks on a clock
Random things found lying around.
Memories echo back at me.
Laughs, smiles, joyful thoughts
Love is passed around, a lot.
Strings played on a guitar
they scream “she’s gonna go far”.
Overthinking everything
notes, sketching, drawings.
Memories echo back at me.
Hopeful looks
reading books.
Dog’s death after a trip
but memories come back to me.
In a place that’s called home
where anyone is welcome.
Door to door, heart to heart
every house has its own spark.
