Traveling through memories

I travelled through my memories again. With my hands, my aromas, my senses. I listened back to all my stories and looked again at every picture I had imprinted on my retinas. I felt again the tickle of those twigs that danced in the wind, in a summer that remains alive in my memory.

I reopened my notebooks,
went through old maps
and retraced every step
I had drawn along the way.
I talked to my inner child again
and even flew again on the
butterfly wings of my first love. 

I danced again with innocence,
to feel the scent of the paper
of that book that left its mark on me.
I re-read the sentence that a woman
threw into the Universe, from which I
learned that ‘impossible’ is only
the prelude to ‘incredible’.

I unpacked a suitcase full
of emotions to return home,
to dance on tiptoe among the stars
and tell the world who I am. 

I have returned to that
Mediterranean breeze that makes me float, to the murmur of the
after-meal conversations,
to the taste of oranges and honey
and to that lighthouse that illuminates every moment of darkness. 

I am back, because the best
thing about memories is to
create them. Because the best
thing about life is living it.

And because the best thing
about the past is that it makes us
who we are today. 

I have returned collecting moments
that make me feel alive.

But most of all,
I have returned because

inspire the future,
and mine begins now.
