Delightful! I love the straightforward premise of this that represents every issue or aspect of such things, where one will take refuge in a positive memory to get through a negative moment.
Loved it :-)

Just reading my coment, I'm not sure I said it quite how I intended; I meant that the simple exterior represents huge strata and depths of emotions and experiences ... Ah, I'm sure you knew what I meant anyway :-). Sorry it wasn't a poem; I'd run out of lunch time (just smeaking a quick break right now!). Mike

Comment from AlvinTEthington
What a sweet poem. I really like it. Nature does have that poignant, nostalgic, anamnestic quality. When we have dreary
rainy days here in California I need to remember all the sun-filled days and find them in my memories. Excellent juxtaposition of picture and poem.

Thank you, Kai - we have a major snowstorm coming Friday afternoon - the kind with a foot of snow. Ugh. Brooke :-)

It must be scary on your own. Wondering how bad the storm will be; thinking of you. Love, Kai.
Comment from Xuders
A really lovely poem. I especially like the "box of memories"--a nice metaphor for the collection we all carry.
One editorial suggestion: hyphenate "gray sky" and "blue sky" when they precede the noun they modify.

You should see my boxes, Brooke! :) So many of them. Not all are filled with blue, but many are. What a fun way to look at life's troubles and just plain old bad days! We have our memories and we need to take them out of their boxes once in a while to remind ourselves about better times and better moments.

The name of this poem caught my attention immediately. When I saw it in my message box, I skipped all others to read it and was not disappointed. Great job. ann
