Memory Winks

Contributed by dvtpdw on Saturday, 14th January 2012 @ 02:35:40 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

Memory can be a grouchy old fool
Unattended, becomes a rusty, crusty tool
No matter how much you clean, polish
Reflections rarely stay as clear as we wish

Nothing remembered is what it once was
Time changes the scene from clear to fuzz
Past pictures can be sharp or misty grey
Creating doubt of what happened that day

What is thought correct, nothing left to lack
Use a grain of salt, give it some slack
Depending on the state the mind is in
They can be your worst foe or best friend

We try to keep them all pristine, prime
Destruction waits as we surf through time
It matters not the preservation, often recall
Grasp is tenuous, be sure not to fall

Each second, our mind's eye snaps a picture
Files the image away, safe for the future
Watch the vault doesn't get water logged
Causing the much dreaded brain fog

Maybe the best way for memories to retain
Not only keep them held in our brain
Carry them within our heart and soul
Memories will stay safe, remain whole

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. ©
