Touching Memories ~*Marge Tindal*~ Sweet total recall of moments that fall in soft surrender so very tender Touching one is to cherish again relishing the pleasure Picking it up,turning it over and over feeling the same tenderness that caused me to tuck it away in the attic of my mind for rainy nights like this when I needed to be remembering you I draw it close to my lips and breathe new life into it It inflates to lift me higher than I've been for a while I float in surreal splendor oblivious that you are simply a memory at play ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wow! That's really bringing a memory back to life! What a great intimate write Marge right out of the depths of the soul....excellent!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

I like this one very much, Marge. *S* Not only is it so visually appealing, you share the feeling of remembered splendor... and the tenderness of memories touches the reader. *S* |

Memories are such funny things...we pull them out and shine them up all pretty...get all starry eyed over them...then pack them away again til the next time...sometimes they get in the way of moving on...and other times they are what motivates us...this was lovely |

I love to go back and memories are such a way to make us smile. It sure is nice also if you can look back on a not so good memory and take in that it was just a single moment in life, learn from it, and smile as you put that box away. For all the good ones, they seem to stay with us even if we don't realize it... I think that's why we can get through most days. Great write!!

Paula~ 'sometimes they get in the way of moving on...and other times they are what motivates us' I just LOVE this line of thought. Thank you. Saunni~ Sometimes, just the remembering is enough. Playing with our memories is what keeps them fresh in our hearts. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
