![]() CrystalsA Poem by Laylani Mullane![]() Me and a friend of mine were talking about how there are ceratin moments in our lives that we remember with perfect clarity, where we were, what were were doing.![]()
Certain memories solidify in your mind
Crystallizing events and emotions with such clarity. The first kiss's rush of teen lust and awkward joy. The ache and grief condensing around a parent's death. Sometimes these crystals glow, Warming a broken heart with memories, Of joyful times with lost loved ones. Sometimes they pierce. Breaking open our hearts even with a memory a decade old, Of a school so close under siege. They draw forth the blood and tears. Not allowing us to forget the tragedies, nor the lessons learned. Both a blessing and a curse. The years may dim them, Fogging their surface with time and distance, But always will they be. Ready to be triggered by a thought, To bring the past to the present and drag one back.
