A Collection of Slumbers

A Collection of Slumbers

Sometimes it is best
to consign
certain treasures
to secret drawers …
words ..
books ..
sacred artefacts
twigs
strips of old linen
and memories
of past lovers even …
Then leave them  
to gather dust
and fine age patina
but never
ever forget them
and when you
need to feel a pulse
show them sunlight …
Until then tho’
let them sleep
in contented oblivion …

Very relatable as I think we all have certain treasures of sentiment from items that normally would have no importance other than the memory they relate to. Very enjoyable read
