discarded pieces from days long past crumpled  memories wallowing in the absence of sunlight a welcome  respite for spaces ,places and times   that dredge up bittersweet ache on the blinding  blade of a shovel let  them lie in peace   just a bit longer   and perhaps   the next excavation will find me  stronger.

Archaeological Dig
discarded pieces from days long past crumpled  memories wallowing in the absence of sunlight a welcome  respite for spaces ,places and times   that dredge up bittersweet ache on the blinding  blade of a shovel let  them lie in peace   just a bit longer   and perhaps   the next excavation will find me  stronger.
Those things you have to sort out as time goes by because you could not  let them go, even just digging through  lightly  brings  back  both welcome and unwelcome reminders  of  those  tangle of  moments &  memories we call our lives..
