a nostalgia that feels so lost in time
that fragmented lingering emotion
keeps it from dematerialising from memory

muddy
but never forgotten
the emotion burns clearer than the day it transpired

places depict a life frozen in time
timeless; as most travellers would say
rooted to all but physical reality

people allow us to embody lives of many others
our past selves
screaming in memory

objects paint a still picture
of familiarity and connection
to this material world

the echoes hit an infinite transit
leaving behind beauty and pain
a simple consequence

a reminder
of the non linearity of time

here we are
living lives of many others in many time frames
neither frozen in the present past nor future

floating in this circular and elusive continuum
reminding us of the layers rooted in time
that we conceal to reveal our souls
