You Weren’t You

Only a spark,
A tiny forgotten memory,
Wriggling to be noticed,
Begging to be remembered.
The pain it caused,
The guilt you felt,
Floods back as you remember,
A time when it was true,
A time when you weren’t you.

Hehehe, Lynne, I know this one too, this is actually not too bad. Quite short, but hey I like it! Though I still think 'Sacred Serenity's the best one you wrote

not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

or perhaps Yu weren't Yu?
amazing how a drip can become a flood, eh?
progression and transformation
yet perhaps wistfull nostalga?
love it, Lynne!
