Sparks flying against a midnight sky So black Color flashing in all directions Splashes soaking in and disapeering beneath the dark blanket covering the stars A time of great joy! No! Not anymore All these are are distant memories That cannot be relived As much as I hoped before that once Just once I could feel that unthinkable, unreachable Feeling of contentment When watching in awe the blaze of lights On a cool, breezy summer night With a connected, whole friendship With the sky above. New memories have to be created But they will never take the place Of those distant memories That will always be pulling at the back of my brain Oh, but my head doesn't realize The flashes brilliant with red, green, blue... Have long ago melted in a downpour of heavy rain. Btw, I think I need a better title. Can anyone help? Thanks. Joy |

A beautiful poem and a title that makes one simply have to read on. |

This is a great poem and I like the title too !! "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |

Keep the title, and keep the memories they are a part of you and who you are today. Just find a little room in your brain and store them there under lock and key, the rest will fall in place. Great job I really enjoyed this poem. |

Joy, Great poem and title. Never push aside your memories, but sometimes new memories outshine the old!! Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |
