…write me

There will be a time
When I am nothing but a photograph,
Or a small paragraph, in a closed book
Within the library - of your mind…
A less than significant part of your past,
A mundane thought in your today
And a selective memory - in your future.

I will be a story expanded upon
…becoming a legendary tale
……of little truth and many lies.
You will add a little,
then take away a little,
In an attempt to balance
All that was good and what was bad in me.

You will re-arrange the chapters of my life,
Until I am no longer - who I ever was.
I will be a fully unfamiliar individual,
One of your own creating
On an empty page
Within your imaginative mind.

I will become nothing more
Than a distorted image - a storybook character
Standing in view of the ’Funhouse’ mirrors
In the titled book The Carnival of Life.
Past, present and future - however you perceive me
Or write me…so I will be.

But then, if the truth is to be recognized
You never have really known me,
For I only allowed you to see
A very limited view of who I am.
I have yet to know the whole me
I am as an unfinished novel
Written by many unknown writers,
Printed white on white with an inkless quill.

I am nothing more than a stranger
Even unto myself
…an enigma in the reality of the day,
The forgotten past and the unforeseen future.

You will be the storyteller
…write me.

This is wonderful Spirit.  So true.  We will be lucky if we are a post-script in the book of life.  Love, Joyce

Dinah:  This is so true. No one really knows another totally.  There are always facets of us, that remain hidden from the world!
