What Treasures Our Memories Hold


What treasures our memories hold

So deep under the surface

No scuba divers can reach! 

And when they want to surface, they just do

Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Suddenly the tune of a song

Suddenly a face.


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Suddenly a scent

Suddenly a taste


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Suddenly an experience

Suddenly a scene


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Suddenly a sequence of events

Suddenly a dream


Unbidden

Unbidden.


Suddenly a thought

Suddenly a mood


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Suddenly something you used to own

Suddenly a food.


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Something you read

Something you heard


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Something useful

Something absurd


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


Fragments from our past 

Intruding on our present

Entering without notice

Filling us with their presence


Unbidden.

Unbidden.


What treasures our memories hold

So deep under the surface

No scuba divers can reach! 

And when they want to surface, they just do

Unbidden.

Unbidden.
