remembrances i don't think much of yesterdays remembrances of things now past for though their echo always stays they were not ever meant to last what has been lives inside me still has left its quintessential trace that shapes my heart and hand and will and i will give it full embrace but living in this present now i also find all i need here and so i make a solemn vow to always hold such moments dear i don't depend on used to be for it may not have been at all imagining and memory both shape the things that we recall nostalgia doesn't matter much it does not shape my reveries i would not use it as a crutch to amplify my memories but living in the present now i also find all i need here and so i make a solemn vow to always hold these moments dear though grateful for all that i've known and all the many ways i've grown let what remains be only true the future thence be ever new since oft the past may be a blur of what did or did not occur thus would i ever want my days unclouded by uncertain haze and living in a timeless now what place have i for else than here and thus i make a solemn vow to always see the present clear : nostalgia shall not cloak my mind lest of the present i'd be blind rjh 27oct2026 ~ sound design by rjh and suno v6 illustration by rjh and chat-gpt 6.1 sol (light) special thanks to recipient and outlaw messiah for these weekly challenges ... 🙏 nb : word of the week (wotw) : nostalgia
