She let her memories escape, yesterday’s dreams
Broken pieces of her life, scattered, tattered
Pressed between the pages, sheltered only
By the pale ivory lace, of a faded parasol
This, her only regret, leaving this treasure
Far behind, knowing, it was the last connection
To a life, she no longer cherished, wilted petals
Pressed between pages, the broken pieces of her life

This made me think of a family member of mine. I still have some of her old books, with the old petals preserved inside. Such lovely memories.
