PHOTOGRAPHY, LIFE EXPERIENCE, MINDFULNESS
An Ode to My Magnificent Memories
DEP POETRY PROMPT LUCKY #7!

Whatever is good for my soul,
I love to do that.
I love my memories.
Memories — I treasure them.
I guard them with my life.
Those are my priceless gems
And I wear them in my crown!
I can’t illuminate the whole world
But I can light up my own small corner.
I make memories,
I don’t collect things.
Memories — in the form of photos
I protect them — good, bad, beautiful, ugly whatsoever.
And my clicks continue…
Memories are moments that narrate us.
Nothing lasts forever…
Make your days count,
Time is precious.
Life brings simple pleasures every day
Own them and make memories that last forever.
Love the life you live.
Life juggles between hope and despair,
Being happy and unhappy,
Being fearful and fearless,
Being significant and insignificant,
Being visible and invisible…
So never stop learning.
Life never stops teaching.
Life can only be understood
If you live forward.
Keep no regrets in life.
Life is a learning journey.
Life is about discovering yourself.
Life is all about loving, giving,
trying, making memories.

A dramatic landscape,
Captures from cute childhood,
Clicks from amazing adulthood,
Of numberless treks,
Up to the hills and dales,
To the scintillating seas,
They all are mine.
Life is too short to be unhappy
Live your best, let things go,
If you are tired, learn not to quit
Let you face defeats but don’t leave.
Take some rest and start, again.
For life is a roller coaster ride.
Live the life you love.
When my vision gets blurred,
When I tend to forget all,
When I lose my way down memory lane,
My images stored help me reminisce
Like a guiding star.
Those flashbacks usher in a twinkle in my eyes
Of making my memories tangible.
I feel lucky.
I feel privileged.
I feel blessed.
Whenever I feel low, these snapshots empower me
To handle the worst.
The positivity gathered embrace me like
a stone of hope out of the mountain of despair.
Memories of the past,
Thank you for the lessons and learnings.
There are a handful of memories
That would never fade.
Relive those moments and bring that beautiful curve
in your supple lips.
Till the infinity lasts…!

Love and gratitude to Sharing Randomly, DEP Poetry team, Dr. Gabriella Korosi, Dr. Preeti Singh, DR Rawson - The Possibilist, Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles and to the entire team of Dancing Elephants Press for bearing and accommodating my blabbers and rants in this section.
Don’t know if it can be even categorized into poetry. However, this is just a humble try, nothing much. I just scribbled what came to my mind and what I believe in.
Wish to get that winning twinkle in your eyes? Then do go through the beautiful creation of Dr. Preeti Singh:
Make pleasant memories that last forever…❤❤❤
