when we dredge from deep vaults of time
a seashell that's still sandy
from our silly laughter
kicking up old dust
in new days where
you and I
think of
us

We make the choice to hold on or let go every single time, don’t we? Lovely response to the prompt.

Perhaps it’s a little bit of both – holding on and letting go. I loved the images used in this poem. Wonderful and evocative.
