Description In the shadows of the mind
our memories breathing in and out.
Like pictures taken of the past
that fade as time marches on.
One day they seem so clear
and the next they are a memory of a memory
or something like that...

Important thing forgotten
Places, People, Things.
Who was that person on the street?
Where did I leave my keys?
Where did I get my first kiss?
And meaningless things
seared into our memories forever...
The smell of the gas station attendant's aftershave.
The value of pi to the tenth digit.
How many sheep were in the Christmas play.

Memories are born and die
in a never ending circle...
As one memory breathes its first breath
another exhales its last.
Life and death, New and old
Always present in the back of your mind
Never totally recalled when we need it
but never completely forgotten.
Much the same as us in someone else's life.
Only just a little different...
