A cascade of memories

We all feel sometimes in our lives that we are knocked down in the cascade of memories. The broken part of us takes a swing in like a leaf. It just represents a part of that leaf who has been ready to touch the ground.

A cascade of memories

That day a broken leaf
Touched the ground
Some lost memories
Were soon revived.
A gift of faith
A token of love
The feeling of togetherness
In bulk was reminded.
A resonating image
Of the bloom we had
A heartbreaking tale
Filled with sorrows.
Giggles and laughs
Anger and sigh
The days that ended
we didn't want them to.
It came rushing back
Bit by bit
I was overwhelmed
By a full-blown tide.
Until a breakdown
Followed through
Tossed in sprinkles
Choked and died.
