The Longevity of Fragrance

Olfaction is permanent

Sometimes in the night

Sometimes in nocturnal memories

Often without notice on the street

For mneme knows  not of sense loss

How fragrant the recall

The aura of peace

Of caring

Of love

Yes…

One might experience interim solace from isolation

But the aura of sweetness

Of honesty

Of conviction

Never wains

Take in the fragrance of caring

Know it transcends any ending

As for those who pay attention

It can hover in the shadows of one’s memory

Forever.
