What's Wrong with a Memory?


Memories
Where one’s memory originates from depends on whether it is a floatation device that holds you above the water or the anchors that weight you down. Those memories seeded by fear are a constant reminder of the weakness of the mind. Memories of failed choices if used as a road map to avoid the complications that come with repetitive behavior. Then of course there are the memories that bring joy.. weeding through the memories I grasped to hold a few....
the gentle kind days that I shared with you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A soul lost at sea, memory, mirage or was it a dream?
Trapped between the earth and sky , boundaries set over time.
In the horizon a haunting true of arms stretched from me to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What’s wrong with a memory?
If I could pick and choose the memories that I hold
I placed the memories with you, they’re the bricks of gold.
I don’t like the counting , the measurement of a day
reminders how distant and how far away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Memories those ghastly little reminders of what I don’t have!

Pillar of My Dreams

Softly sings >
A tear fallen knows not why, my heart saddened began to die.
A joy felt for a little while ,remembers when you made me laugh and smile.

I tried to hold the memories.. when you were the pillar of my dreams.
Central to what life brings, is the walk that led to love's extremes.

The dance of fantasy brought you here , like the master of the wind you disappeared.
Now my heart alone again I fear.... as I drown in my own fallen tears....

Imagination working overtime

Step into my world , take my hand and pull me close.
The song of love fills the heart, my soul now exposed.
Fragile as the finest crystal, strong as winter breeze.
If you dare to open up , I’ll promise that I’ll please.
Place a smile upon your face, each and every morn
and give to you a winter rose without any thorns.

Merry Christmas! Through the eyes of a child...

When ever I like to think of Christmas .. I try to remember what it was like through the eyes of a child. Not much changes as we grow older ..
hope and faith and the mystery o
f life still dominates our being.

I FOUND YOU !

The harder I tried to fight the madness
The deeper my heart sunk in sadness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tears a fallen a puddle did they make,a glimpse at the reflection caused the heart to ache.
The mountains surrounding did not impound the soul, It was in the mind that had a meticulous hold.Tense a panic began to set on in, the reign of fear setting out to win.Challenged with the moment, the breeze began to lift and there in the darkness I felt my heart a drift.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found you in the warmth of the sun that set my heart a fire.
I found you a top the mountain where you gave dreams the power.
I found you in the field of grain where souls run free.
I found you in my arms if only in my dreams.

Built from respect are the bricks of love ....


A foundation of respect built the walls of love
housed by compassion contains rooms
for peace and harmony, passion and joy.
The gifts gain strength on rainy days as
they nourish the garden that blooms
flowers that grow stronger with
each season.

Merry Christmas!

SSnowflakes and snowboards and children sung heart chords
Frozen rivers and ice makes me shiver

One warm thought and there you appear
magic from one whom cares!








~~~~~~~~~
Flake by flake the snow a falling
Wind a bluster my heart a calling

The Memory Mirror




The growth of pine a foot a year
a shocking reminder, a memory mirror.
~
The reflection of time reminisce of fear
of life as it stands through trial and err.
~
Days of laughter , days of sorrow,
days that lead unto tomorrow.
~
One last glimpse of looking back,
to leave behind a cloud of black.
