Memories

“The leaves of memory seemed to make
A mournful rustling in the dark.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It is often said, some memories are too sweet to be forgotten. Memories are what make our life worth living. Memories are like the light shining in the otherwise dark corridors of life. They are a nice reminder of the good things of life. ‘All good things come to an end’ but it is through memories that they are kept alive. And we cling to them to have a whiff of fresh and fragrant air. We tend to lean back on our memories to save ourselves from the onslaught of the life ahead. Memories are those moments, which once past may not cross our path ever again. Yet they are our lifeline.

“Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened”
~T.S. Eliot

...'Memories are those moments, which once past may not cross our path ever again. Yet they are our lifeline..' I fully agree with you.
"Life is all memory except for the one present moment that goes by so quick you can hardly catch it going."
Thanks for sharing.
God bless.

T.S. Eliot is such a great author. I can relate to the hold good memories have on me. They are comforting, and sometimes you almost feel as if you can grab them back again. Thanks for sharing. (I have to add you to my blogroll!).
