Time is no friend of mine
It strips you away, piece by piece
Stones and mountains know this
They have seen so much
I escape time in my thoughts
where it no longer mercilessly rules
There, I can be with all of those who’ve left me here
I can never clearly hear
exactly what we talk about,
but they are always smiling
I remember this about them the most
When I walk among them
in the mists of my mind,
they are never there long enough to hold
but their kindness and love
always accompany me while I am there
As long as I have my kingdom of memories
the relentless seconds and years,
with their covetous ways,
cannot take away all that they want

Sadly though the years do take away the memories, but what remains of them is still glorious. I enjoyed reading your piece today.

Those memories are so important in our lives and your words show how important they are.
