Remembering Orchid
--- Marsilah Binti Mohamad Isa
The awe of remembering
traversing the timeline of memories
where I used to be and forever ruminating
The path of mine coincides
the array of orchids in the garden of mind
capturing words from the wise
If time permits physical memory
mind if I touch orchids of remembrance
embracing each scene before a departure
I lay now wondering
in awe of remembering
the sweet of sight and scent where I began
if time can turn
mind if i trail those sweet orchids
where I blossomed and where I grew
imprinting the heady smell in each step
To the time I begin and grow
The orchids remain sweet
While the journey rocks a mould
Of an innocent youth
