Dried flowers

Dried flowers only remind you
there is more to life than beauty, which gradually fades. But what still stays alive is the moment which is with us as a memory which comes back.
They lose their colour or the fragrance
But dried flowers are found in pages for remembrance.I remember the first time you gave that beautiful flower and while doing so you had said keep this with you till life does us apart.Many years have gone by and I still keep it with me.Telling you I still have the moment alive as a precious memory.What still lingers on is the fragrance that in years did fade but just a little flower started and an endless escapade.It has given value to just a simple book on my rack
that I take out not to read but feel and live the lovely moment back to back.
We all have something with us which though seems to be ordinary but carries a value that cannot be measured. Not because it is expensive but because it carries a moment that cannot be bought back again with the special someone. It might look faded, it might lose its beauty but what it keeps intact is the connection that was made years ago.

How often do you sit down with something like a dried flower? Doesn't it make you travel back in time? It reminds you of the moment or incident when it was given or bought by you. This is the special person in your life because you have kept this little thing as a cherished memory. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it lovely to take a detour from your daily activity and just sit there and remember the moment that has been captured and stored in your heart forever.
