Hoarded Moments

The pantry stands silent, a vault of the past,

finding old jars where time seems to last.

Dust motes dance in the beams of the light,

like laughter long faded from dinners at night.


A jar of expired sauce brings memories near,

savoring garlic and joy mingled with cheer.

Each item a whisper, a taste of the home,

reminders of meals where love used to roam.
