Hidden Memories of Tomorrow Two hearts in silence...waiting to share One brief moment...and then a lifetime Should we reach out...do we even dare? This tunnel of visions is not one of crime Memories from the past in another time Carried deep within the history of reddened sky Summer caressing the photos of lives in rythmic mime Closely guarded behind the nations natives watchful eye Born into the birthright of all memories blessed so pure The path to love in natural wonders of freedoms take These are the etchings upon which we must endure As now once again we are called not to forsake Memories of yesterlife breathe in our souls Photos of tomorrow waiting to be taken A journey of our hearts within life's tolls Two becomes one not to be forsaken The tears upon paintings once shed Hieroglyphics of love and sorrow Journeys upon love now being bred With hidden memories of tomorrow Mark Bohannan |

well..I have to admit that I had to re-reread this poem LOL! This is truly a wonderful poem you have given us...at this point and time I do not know what my belief is when it comes to a past life..it is such a complex topic..yet your poem, and the beautifully way it was written, has tip the scale in its favor  great job Mark "my love is my motivation my love is my inspiration perception of this poem is your interpretation" -- me |

yes, it's neat how you did that Mark...I have read some of your work and I think this one rates high up on my list of great ones, possibly because I can so well relate now at this point in my life. |

"Memories of yesterlife breathe in our souls Photos of tomorrow waiting to be taken A journey of our hearts within life's tolls Two becomes one not to be forsaken" There is a lovely eloquence within your verse, Mark. Very nice. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Karilea-Thank you so much in seeing growth. That is what keeps me pushing. Marge is a blessing for sure and for you to want to share one of mine to her is a compliment indeed...her and I both share a love for a very proud people who struggle daily to recapture what has been taken away. |

Mark, this is phenomenal. Just so perfectly expressive of the thought and emotion. "Memories of yesterlife breathe in our souls Photos of tomorrow waiting to be taken" If I HAD to choose lines I liked best, those would be it. But they are all so wonderful. I have to read more of these catalinamoon Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think. Lord Byron |

I thought it was a very moving and beauiful poem. Lies comfort but the truth burns. |
