The Path of the Poppy

The Path of the Poppy

Memories have their own lives.
They follow their own roads.
Some wander too far, getting lost in memory’s labyrinth
As if they never existed
Some come and go,
And there are some that reign over your memory
Gratifying,
Bittersweet,
Painful
They could be simple
They could be tied to a decisive moment in your life.
You can’t forget them
They are present.
The Path of the Poppy is an attempt to revive these memories, fleeting moments, and people
That deserve to be present.
To recover a past I have not lived
To give life to people or things that are no longer
To live the life of others.
