As memories meander and one remembers

Of times past and tales untold 

The challenges that built character 

The longing that birthed passion 

 The silence that spoke volumes 

And the words heard in stillness 

The journeys that ended, and ones that evolved 

The love that was kept, and pain released

Memories of lessons learnt and growth attained 

Memories, the pieces that make up the full picture

The picture that is one's life.
