In the likeness to Robert forst a small fragment of a thought hopefully a grain of sand towards his own beautiful work.

The mind most taken.

What mind may not the thought be gathered from?
The memory may not be gathered from the subconscious?
Its all you know the memories, or know the subconscious.
As a stranger gathered from the subconscious myself
A equal weight of mass to an impression, on passing,
I ought to know the little of which I shared with them.
I do act, I suppose, like myself,
And grew not to form a character
But the stage is always stood upon at any point I dwell.

But the character is made to take my place
The day when strangers become vague acquaintances,
And when I answer placed on automatic
My mind has left through the upper regions;
And I act out the scenes as if they were a play
I can waste as I pass on the chance to interact as I please.

Oh, please, continue not to pass on the chance.  Your mind is fancifully at play.

The rise and fall of your meter is wonderfully reminiscent of Frost. I could feel the stepping through your thoughts as though I'd taken the "road less traveled" with you, and, of course, "it made all the difference."

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Though I am not an expert of Frost's works, I do perceive his style in this.

You have done a great job.
