“Keepsakes
.
.



Keep a leaf between your pages
when you forget your season...
some memories keep their green.

Carry a feather in your pocket
when the world grows weighty...
some flights are never lost.

Set a pebble on your desk
when your thoughts scatter...
some footings remain true.

Hold a seashell in your palm
when silence grows heavy...
some songs endure.

Keep a drop of rain in your memory
when the days turn brittle...
some renewals return.”
