Memories


A street in Malacca by Lee Siu Wei

A quiet window
For us to peer back in time
To seek yesterday
At times with apprehension
Sometimes with expectation

Images that flit
In and out of our minds
Transient passages
Through the eternity of time
Bringing bygones to the fore

Impressions that stay
Stubbornly lingering on
Some with nostalgia
Some with pride and happiness
Others with shame or sorrow

Secret treasure house
Of great wisdom and knowledge
Grasped from experience
The foundation of our being
The essence of what we are

Lee

Hi shirl,
Yes, memories are all that - bitter, sad, happy. I too like to share the happy ones, sometimes the sad ones but not the bitter ones. Maybe it is the way we Malaysian Chinese are brought up.
I think it is known as being positive or optimistic.
I think you would have noticed that I too do not like to whine. If that is painting a false picture, so be it.
Our new PM has freed a few ISA detainees, lifted the ban on some newspapers and promised the nons equality. Can he do it? I don't know but he has ascended to the position with a lot of baggage (and opposition) with accusations of corruption and murder.
I am now in Singapore and would be doing my Ching Ming duties when I return. Still snowing huh? I guessed so because my son had informed us that it was 11 C in Paris yesterday.
Are there any crocuses yet?
