Yesterday today last week
A minute or an hour
To some the clock no longer speaks
Relinquished is it's power

The calender of life's events
Our hope to make us sage
Is filled with impish memories
That flit from page to page

Uncaring their chaotic ways
The confusion they beget
Robs those around us well spent days
As we remember to forget

Sometimes we get lost in the memories...for a bit...from time to time. It is a loss to the present, though, isn't it, if we stay there too long. Wise words.

An artfully crafted and sagacious piece, Dr. Moose.

'As we remember to forget...' - like that!

Like the whole thing...well done.
