Memento

A journey back in time 
From years far gone
You're in a decrepit state 
And your age unknown
Warped and faded
Discolored and torn
Dusty and chipped
Overgrown and forlorn
Your beauty left unnoticed
Overlooked and neglected
Until my world slowed down
My life put in perspective
The memories you hold
From my years gone past
The spark you possess
Unlocked another chance
For me to touch, to hold
All at once transporting me
Somewhere dear and personal
With a special meaning to see
Reminding me of a face, a place
A feeling, a particular state of mind
Hoping I was there again present
At that exact moment in time
