irretrievable to all but the heart


moments fall though my fingers

sifting and silky

like sand

soft

almost liquid to the touch

glistening

luminous

particles

blowing & scattering

when the breeze pushes through

falling far from me

lost to time

irretrievable

to all but the heart

there

stamped

on my memory

in colors

and faces

not forgotten

in voices

and words spoken

in fingertips brushing my hand

and laughter like melody

in my mind
