When the present
Feels downcast
It’s ok
To visit the past
Rediscovering
Buried memories
With the dust of hurriedness
Settling
Recentering
Ourselves.

Leafing
Through shelves
Old photos
Faded letters
Folded cards
A looking glass
Into days of old

A moment of carefree
Glee

Priceless.

When the present
Seems bleak
We seek
The future

Filled with
hopeful anticipation
For we will rise again.
