I remember

I remember another day - laid discretely in the PAST

dust swept under the mat, its corners neatened,

PAIN prevented  

we had watched leaves fall - gold, bronze - in true 

metallic LINGERING 

grey squirrel's tail, buffed full, had cheered then 

leaped from here to there, THEN back again 

its pirouette flew to a blackbird's song, his opus to 

DAWN 

large stones laid a dam, stream STILLED - a duet of rays

lit the moment

water voles swept away old grass from their door - off

away to the breeze,  A NEW baptism

across the SKY the famed Artist highlighted the day's

coming bounty 

breathing BECAME easier, smiles began to shine, grannies

said their 'Hail Marys' 

children loudly awoke, cats mewed milky whiskers, dogs

barked their incontinence - kettle sang SWEET

and the day's tomorrow knew that MOMENTS pass on

memories we never truly forget

some may curl the dew upon bare feet, some may yawn

waking new-born, quite a few will BREATHE IN

or start up their coughing, jump from bed or just SIT

thanking the day for ANOTHER CHANCE

banned lyrics: sounds soulful, almost like bryon, wilde, rimbaud and a drum machine met over pints in manchester and decided to give joy division a run for their money

I wouldn't know but sounds wonderfully decadent or not so but great fun! Do we have to write our own lyrics? Many thank yous this hot already morning!

I love the nature view to tell this poem story. Fall weather. Streams of water to express joy. Nicely written.

Good morning, dear friend and... many thanks for calling in and leaving such insightful words. Will be calling - til then, take care, keep safe and smiling. Hugs.

How very beautiful. This is a piece of piano music played softly. Memories sweetly laid in lovely words.
The scent of previous love.

You inevitably send an unusual but wonderful comment: 'a piece of piano music played softly', Will be thinking of that all day, trying to feel what you mean. Then comes.. the next phrase..

Memories, when poetically presented, are the most beautiful in my opinion, when they are good ones. This to me sounds of a wonderful time when nature was singing to two hearts and only those ears could hear the melodic lyrics. This is beautifully enchanting Emma.

Many thanks and smiles flying your way, willweb,
Memories are the thoughts we don't always realise we've made. Perhaps? I have been writing journals since i was thirteen. Imagine the weight of those memories spanning thirty and so years, What a movie they might make. Or not, Again, thank you.

I would go and see it and I will buy the popcorn. : )
