Within the invisible expanse of her mind
She sat at the table
Auditing her memories
Picking, sorting, rechecking, stacking
Touching the dusty files
Fondly, sadly, happily, regretfully.
Stacking them under the labels
"That doesn't make sense"
"Remembered - this time, this place, this person"
"To be forgotten"
"Cherished"
"For My Information(FMI)"
"To be Trashed"
As she burns the Trash,
She remembers each event,
Each person involved, dead or alive
Her own involvement, witness or participant
Each wonder, each hurt
And files them under
"Even in Death, never part".

Loved the poem and very well writen. For some reason...it left me kind of sad and in deep thought. Memories.....r all we have left of the events that have happened.

those file cabinets of the mind are stronger than the fire proof kind aren't they?
love your poem my friend!
We do remember, eh, Rashmi? I believe every person, every event brought us to the very place where we NOW are, so each was necessary to shape us into who we are.
I can relate to the labels. I have some of those myself.
very enjoyable read
Not every tiny piece of data is significant.....if it were....we would go insane with detailed memories.
thanks for visiting!
Beautiful poem. It kind of leaves you sad, but in a thoughtful way.

Oh so sad.
Really interesting; though I read this through 3 times I still don't fully appreciate it, I'm sure.

As we sort through life events, people,, things each and every one does impact us in one way or another Rashmi. It is wise to take stock occasionally wipe the slate clear and start again. Of course as time goes by it becomes easier for some of us to let go because we come to realise that it is too difficult to harbor everything with in than to release it and be free.
An insightful write Rashmi.
Thanks so much for your comment on my post too! xo
