Today's poem was inspired by an article I read at http://www.musicandmemory.org
Memories
What
do I think? I can not tell
I try and try but always fail
I try and try but always fail
Not
things that I hold dear inside
Nor the things I wish to hide
So much to say, so much to share
Not knowing those who truly care
Nor the things I wish to hide
So much to say, so much to share
Not knowing those who truly care
Searching
for a familiar place
Frustration showing on my face
A date, a dance, a high school play
Frustration showing on my face
A date, a dance, a high school play
A
kiss, a love, a wedding day
All now forgotten memories
Only revived by melodies
All now forgotten memories
Only revived by melodies
Music
rejuvenates my soul
Briefly
restoring it to whole
Recalling
what was truly real
Cherishing
how it made me feel
Comfort from a familiar friend
Praying
the memories don’t end
Really enjoyed this one! I'm wondering if perhaps, some of this might be from actual experiences. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, Todd. Yes, you are correct in your wondering, music often triggers memories for me. :)
