Memories

A Poem by Ben Barton

Memories
Breathing life into emotions of the past
Unearthing motivation lost to cynicism
Reviving dreams and desires long since buried by realism
Giving birth to new vision
To hope, to passion; to regret
Memories
A blessing, most definitely
But so easily a curse

This is like something I'd read in a fairy tale book. I love the words chosen, especially your list and the final two lines. Very powerful and very true. Keep writing your tight s**t.

Very good. It flows so easily together and connects itself to a larger theme.

Wow! Very deep and thought-provoking. And I personally totally agree with that last phrase. "A blessing, most definitely. But so easily a curse". Keep up the extravagant writing! Can't wait to see even more writing from you!
