#sol22 March 26 Treasure Amid Trash

 

It's day 26 of the month long, TWT, writing challenge.

 I started cleaning a closet
Even though it doesn't feel "spring" today,
Great plans to get rid of my cold and the old,
To organize too much stuff,,
Keep, Goodwill, trash, organize,
Found a treasured memory book
About my brother 
Hiding, treasure amid trash.
I sat on the floor, tears in my eyes,
I remembered.

a treasure indeed! The way you succinctly told this; a winsomeness to your initial approach that landed heavy and beautiful in your found memory! Wonderful.

Memories are treasures. So glad you found the gems.

Your title got me. I love finding treasures in trash. Then I got here and realized the early spring cleaning, which I also love to do. And then I saw your treasure... what a smile.

Treasures from lost brothers
Mine found in a shoebox cleaning out his room.
Ticket stubs from every concert
He'd ever been to
Humming along with the band.
Wish you were here.

I started spring break today too. I'm not going anywhere, instead I need to go through a ton of stuff that I brought home after my mom passed away in December. I hope I will find some treasures like you did. May you find joy in the memories....
