Warming Memories

Memories                                      

Pin my life to my body,                        

Keep me covered and give me warmth              

Even in shivering loneliness.                    

They are my indulgence                          

As well as my necessity.                        

In my autumn                                    

They furnish beautiful protection                

From the elements surrounding me.                

I sit on a park bench, smiling                  

In a shawl of fond memories                      

Heedless of the blustery wind                    

Sending coloured missiles my way.                

At night they are my warm flannel clothes                                        

Embracing me in my solitary bed.                

And so, I can smile and go on                    

Because I am wrapped in warm                    

Memories.
