though we deny it
our past can inform
our future
the #silentmemories
of what is locked away
and never spoken about
can come back
to haunt a promising
stage of life.

Longing I wish these memories would be silent, but they persist, soft‑footed and certain, returning me to places I locked away. Twisting beneath the surface, undercurrents of a frozen stream, murmurs of buried longing, curling through the quiet. They find me in the hush of night - in that fragile pause when the world folds into stillness and all that remains are the whispers of what might have been.

I love lazy Sunday mornings, and when prompts align in my head to make a poem ❤️

Observing silent
Memories, shadow worlds that
Have long since passed on.
