Blasts From the Past
by joetwo
Sometimes they just hit you
When you’re out walking
Unsuspecting, unprepared
They come out of the blue
A smell, a voice, a sound
Bringing forth a torrent of memory
A blast from the past
Returning you to a time long since gone
Another time, often another you
Reawakened from many years of slumber
Given a chance to be relived for just a moment
Before returning to their hiding place of memory
And you are free
To go about your business
With maybe a twinkle in your eye
The tiny star of remembrance

Ah … I love tiny stars of remembrance 😀
Thank you! Feel free to steal! 🙂
Not all blasts from the past are good ones though…Sometimes its better to forget.
I hope the better ones find you more often Scriptor! 🙂
Sometimes that blast can be fun!
Indeed it can! Or exhilarating on some occasions!
I love “tiny stars of remembrance” too, Joe…beautiful!
Thank you!
it can be good if it thought you a lesson, but some I don’t wanna remember at all…
That can be sad! But the best blasts from the past are the ones that have good memories.
