"The Awakening" In this life I seem to move Without feeling or thought Where will my next step land? I stumble along... Uncaring so it seems Until I am faced With my unrelenting heart Who screams "Remember" The floodgates open Memories flow forth Uninvited, Unwanted Long blocked and hidden away My mind feels violated As my body once was How do I stop the emotions? Do I learn from them instead? I see my choices looming before me. One step forward, towards remembrance. Or a step back, Back into my own unemotional reprise. My mind is set as I gently, cautiously Step into my past. Remembering. Feeling the scars Which have become sore once more. Through thorns I emerge. My legs unbroken, I walk forth. Anew, Whole, Reborn. [This message has been edited by Cyndey (edited 07-01-2000).] |

What a terrific poem!  Hmm... memories mean so much don't they? Memories and emotions are so intertwined. Great ending! |

Memories are the kodak moments of the mind. Only, unlike photos which tend to be two dimensional, the mind can morph, manipulate and reproduce any memory the way we WANT to see it. And it's a good thing too...otherwise some memories are just too painful to accept. Nice work Cyndey. Hardrock |

Thanks Jeremiah! I'm looking forward to reading some of your work as well~ It's always awesome to experience your own feelings and sometimes even your own past in someone else's work... Memories themselves are sometimes to awe-inspiring.Hardrock... I was happy to see that you saw so much in my writing~ It's too true what you said about memories. I know from personal experience, sometimes the ones we block out, are the ones we learn so much from. Again, thanks guys~ cyndey "All that we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream" Edgar Allan Poe |

If I survive my emotions I'll be lucky. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
