A POEM FOR POSSESSIONS...
And that's only a few of mine below...
In a strange kind of way, I regard all my many possessions like children, and sometimes worry about what will happen to them when I'm no longer around. Several months or so back (maybe longer), with this in mind, I dashed off a few lines of verse on a scrap of paper and then forgot about it. I found it while tidying up my room earlier and decided to publish it on the blog.
I'm not had time to polish and refine it yet, but I thought some of you might appreciate the sentiment, if not its execution, so here it is. Not thought of a finished title for it yet, just a temporary stand-in. (Hey, who said "Call it p*sh"?) I'd be interested in knowing whether you regard your collection in the same way, or would you say I'm taking things to extremes? Let's hear what you think.
The Break Up
The treasures we cherish from cradle to grave,
possessions acquired we've chosen to save;
companions through life to ourselves and each other,
we love them akin to a sister or brother.
Then one day we're gone, our treasures are scattered,
orphaned, dispensed with, like they never mattered.
Just a few to new owners, the rest thrown away,
A 'family' divided - oh, sad wretched day.
To lose first their owner and all of their friends,
a potent reminder that everything ends.
There's no point, I know, in a cruel fate berating,
but I hope, up above, to find them all waiting.
