Stumbling

Contributed by SunsetDolphin12 on Thursday, 27th February 2003 @ 07:20:00 PM in AEST
Topic: DreamsandWishes

It is a childhood lost.
My mind is blank,
When I look into the past.
Vacant looks return my questions.
All is gone.
Happy children playing in the pool,
‘Neath the warm, hot sun,
Smiling, laughing with their mother, father too.

Why can I not remember??
It is grey.
My mind is fogged.
Sit in the time machine,
The sign says its out of order,
Won’t move back in time,
No matter how hard I try.
Look! Crystal ball!
Murky? Dark?
….Can’t see…
Veiled.

Lost!
Where to go?
What path to stumble along?
Tis all hidden!

Painful heart,
Want but can’t,
Cry, cry for the lost childhood!
Weep, weep for forgotten smiles,
Forgotten joys, sorrows,
Events, emotions.

Gone…all gone...where?
What happened?
How? Why? When?
Questions left unanswered.
Scramble in the dust,
Chase fleeting, dim memories,
Revive them!
Looking for clues to the past,
Like an archeologist in the sand,
Hungry for some small piece,
Like a bird scratching for worms in the desert.

Not here, not here!
Where then? Where?
Gone, gone, gone…
Like the rabbit before the hawk,
Like the tang of the daisies in the summer breeze.
Then show me!
Show me my past, my present, my future!
My mind is grey and numb,
The light is off,
Switch it back on!
Let me remember Life.

An interesting write and, at least in my case, a vivid realization of lost recollections.

This is my first time reading your poetry and I find it to be an interesting and unique style. Keep up the good work.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
