Whispers
Moments walked by unseen,
their mirth locked within our hearts
We swing and see through the time mirror –
memorabilia that is dearer than life.
Who knows when life slipped away?
Whispers never betray.
Souvenirs sing of those days,
when smiles shimmered like rays.
When choices rested with us,
when clouds carried us far,
into their velvety windows
that were open from all sides.
When the echoes of our laughter
regaled the birds; they watched silently,
mystified by the thrill of the moment –
A moment that still whispers.
Promises pause to catch them
while they saunter by, knowing well
Their traces can never be wiped away
Like the fragrance of jasmine.

Thank you Annette.
Lovely poetry as always Balroop… I sadly gave my granddaughters Barbie dolls away to charity a few months ago.. She didn’t want them 14 and all grown up… 🙂 I think I shed my own little tear, as we had such fun playing with them and I had more fun making them clothes :-D…
Sending love and hugs your way xx ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Sue. We have to give up all that belongs to this world at some point but we keep the memories. They are enough! 🥰
Agreed Balroop… They are all we take with us xx ❤ xx

The sweetness of nostalgia comes through so clearly, Balroop. The whispers of those carefree days and our childhood joys stay with us, don’t they? A beautiful poem.
Reliving those moments, which we didn’t notice could stay with us forever, gives momentary joy. Yes, they do whisper now and there are many more of various stages of our life.
