How to preserve slices
of us
Can I jar pieces of memories
Your words were sometimes
sweet as fresh strawberries
from the vine…
Oh, but sometimes they were
tarty as a lime
Shall I jar the juiciest chunks
Preservation is a work of art

incorporating the word "jar"
Truedessa, I love this, especially your concluding line.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think we are always trying to preserve pieces of our life story
DeleteI like the idea of being able to jar a past life...or relationship...or feeling. How sweet to open it back up and savor it once more. Well done.

ReplyDeleteGrace, I think it may be the preservation of our journey in life.
DeleteWhat an interesting concept, jarring pieces of memories or even whole ones. Preserving them like peaches.
