My closet opens with memory shoes from the 70's and pink pocketbooks a plenty from when I was a younger girl It is deep with Elvis and the Drifters The Beatles and the Youngbloods too Faded posters and old LP covers I procrastinate still to bag and toss Photos of me and my girls in the old neighborhood So many have jewels have lined my shelves The clutter of my mind stands still when I rummage through I digress each time I try to pack it up afraid I will lose who brought me to this place I view. |

I love this...you have captured in a few words the predicament of many. Especially liked this: "I digress each time I try to pack it up afraid I will lose who brought me to this place I view." |

Very k o o l write, my friend...much enjoyed the read...reminded me of my daughter's room when she finished high school, and how hard it was for her to 'pack & stow' and move on...we took pictures from every possible angle (the walls were a bulletin board covering all four years of high school). j. |

::smiles:: I love this I have many such "time machines" Old Savoy Brown covers, from which the albums have long been absent. Concert ticket stubs, posters, belt loops from the jeans of ex girlfriends. View Masters and reels, 8 track tapes, braids of hair, buckskin jacket fringes, comic books... I cherish my time machines thank you for this |

I digress each time I try to pack it up ~*~ Such an easy way to get lost over a weekend, sometimes forever, if we pack-rat too much... but a lovely write! Welcome to Passions! Please, check your Email for a Very Special Greeting! " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |
