Persistence of Memory


An intertwined link from the past to the present
A gateway to lessons learned and times forgotten
It comes in many shapes, forms, scents and smells
It may come in the blink of an eye or in quiet whisper

It is that laundry smell at your aunt and uncle's
It is that homemade birch beer your little league coach made
It is that barbecue smell you get from charcoal bricks and lighter fluid
It is that taste of hot cocoa after day of fun in the snow

An interwoven quilt of images stitched together through time 
That makes us up, all depicting happy memories of times past
From the blissful years of early childhood to 
The responsible years of adulthood and everything in between

It might be that field you look upon where you played soccer for the YMCA
Or the feel of sand on your feet at the beach, where you swam for years
It could be that movie you saw that reminded you of simpler times of youth
Or maybe its that poem that made you feel warm and fuzzy inside
