Take a jar
Fill it with memories
Lingering in the deep
Crevices of brain.
Close the lid tight
And keep it
In a corner
Hidden from view
With your brain
Sans memories
Build a new you
Play a new inning
And play long
After years
When the sun if
Finally about to set
Look for that jar
All the memories
That once had the power
To Change you
destroy you
Now seem insignificant
Obsolete, may be
Like an old jewellery piece
Bought, used and forgotten.
Without the heavy baggage
We always travel fine
Keep decluttering
Keep evolving
Keep filling new jars

I unanimously agree with Miss J.K. that life is all about choosing between the powers of "holding on", and "letting go"...
Beautiful lines Jeetu!
Simple but powerful poem
What a spectacular poem it is of a common object jar- but a treasure trove of memories..
I think everyone needs to have one kind of JAR which holds your past memories of being happy and sad, ups and downs/ and the experiences, and you close it tightly to move forward but open it to reflect back.
Beautiful words to describe memories 💕
