In a state of disrepair...

Memoria is a stream to me
I'm sitting by the banks you see
I'm reeling in and out of time and
sifting sand for anything
that I might find.

Can I still remember...

...when the water was no mirror
and reflection not accusation?

...how to speak while staying silent?

...the meaning of a glance?

...the motion in a moment?

Do I recall...

...the sweetness of the laughter,
and the feeling following after?

...how to dream while staring?

...the answer to every question?

...the sunlight in a second?

All I find is...

...the misting of an image
airbrushed in the memory...

...of that dead sun...

...a lithograph of meaning...

...and regret within the feeling...


Memoria memento mori.

"And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea,
But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and the fifty-three."

"Memoria memento mori."

I like this the contrasting feelings are evident after about half of this is finished with and I think the skill involved in making this was not vast but it was not needed because this was exceptional and the spansih help to amplify the overall meaning of this piece. Good job...keep writing...elevations is the key
