Photographs To The Fire Poem by Matthew Holloway

Photographs To The Fire



Old photographs and letters
Thrown to the flames
Memories turned to ash
Carried away in the wind
Stories burn away
In the dance of the fire
Sometimes a lifes better forgotten
As good memories bring sorrow
Come the morning
The simmering remains
Leave nothing to be remembered

What a sad ending. Perhaps it's better to keep one memento. What's done, cannot be undone. Better to save a memento or two, hidden away, than to have regrets later.
