Pièce de résistance ... Fade

Today’s word is “pièce de résistance” ... the most noteworthy or prized feature, aspect, event, article, etc., of series or group; special item or attraction. (Dictionary.com) 

Fade
Memories wind throughout the years,
They appear and disappear like flames,
Brought forth by a scent or sound,
Or by a certain name.

Perhaps an old melody,
Or a scrapbook, treasure filled,
Will bring back a pièce de résistance,
Better than an act of will.

Sometimes it takes a kindred soul,
To remind us of our common story,
And whether we have lived in vain,
Or if we’re bound for glory.
