Piece together portions of an ever shrinking memory
Sift the extraneous, consolidate the sound,
Rid thyself of factions preposterous and fractious
Crystalise the essence of essential and profound.
Immortalise sensations of sweet rapture incarnate
Clutch to your breast all good warmth from the past,
Know what’s retained is the BEST of your being
Treasure each recall and pray that it last.
Love each moment with ardour of passion
Value the brilliance of colour and sound,
Savour the sweetness in apricot nectar
Indulge like tomorrow will NOT be around.

Piece together portions of an ever shrinking memory
Sift the extraneous, consolidate the sound,
Rid thyself of factions preposterous and fractious
Crystalise the essence of essential and profound.
Immortalise sensations of sweet rapture incarnate
Clutch to your breast all good warmth from the past,
Know what’s retained is the BEST of your being
Treasure each recall and pray that it last.
Love each moment with ardour of passion
Value the brilliance of colour and sound,
Savour the sweetness in apricot nectar
Indulge like tomorrow will NOT be around.
