The warmth of the past
Refreshed in a way only
You can experience here
in this space.
Not exactly memories
But an inexplicable peace
That surrounds you
With the sights and sounds
Of the past you behold.
Only you can drift into
That space
Where the beauty and
enjoyment of now is held.
Life can be beautiful when the past merges with ‘that’ now. The feeling you capture that you do not want to let go, but stretch till the day comes to an abrupt end when you revere that space.
That “inexplicable peace” you describe is such a wonderful thing. I believe I’ve experienced what you’re describing in this poem, and it’s such a pleasure. Thank you for this poem.

It is wonderful to take a few moments and let our thoughts drift back to some of those memories.
I love the first stanza! I copied some of those lines into my notebook where I record golden lines! Thank you for those beautiful words.

This is beautiful and really speaks to me tonight. I love how you show that our memories are really spaces that only we can enter. Lovely.

I love this … you created such space in this poem that the reader is transported to whatever space brings us peace. These lines – “With the sights and sounds
Of the past you behold.” provide a spark I will follow. Thank you for sharing.
