travel companions

arqios


Choose a scarf for the day—
the one gifted by a friend,
the one found in a forgotten shop,
the one stitched by patient hands.

Each carries a story.

Write the giver’s name on the tag
so the memory travels with you,
a quiet companion
woven into the morning.

    Indeed we do carry memories, momentos of the past and its occupants with us through the day and time in general. A small part of what they gave us carried as our flag. Very nice Cryptic loved how the last line "woven into the morning" ties the theme and subject together symbolically and literally

            The poem explores the intimate connection between objects and the memories they evoke, suggesting that everyday items, like scarves, can serve as reminders of meaningful relationships and experiences. It highlights the importance of remembering and cherishing these connections as we navigate our daily lives.

                      Those memories are often brought back by things found from the past Rik.
