…write me There will be a time When I am nothing but a photograph, Or a small paragraph, in a closed book Within the library - of your mind… A less than significant part of your past, A mundane thought in your today And a selective memory - in your future. I will be a story expanded upon …becoming a legendary tale ……of little truth and many lies. You will add a little, then take away a little, In an attempt to balance All that was good and what was bad in me. You will re-arrange the chapters of my life, Until I am no longer - who I ever was. I will be a fully unfamiliar individual, One of your own creating On an empty page Within your imaginative mind. I will become nothing more Than a distorted image - a storybook character Standing in view of the ’Funhouse’ mirrors In the titled book The Carnival of Life. Past, present and future - however you perceive me Or write me…so I will be. But then, if the truth is to be acknowledged You never have really known me, For I only allowed you to see A very limited view of who I am. Even I have not been shown the whole me, I am as an unfinished novel Written by many unknown writers, And printed white on white with an inkless quill. I am nothing more than a stranger Even unto myself …an enigma in the reality of the day, The forgotten past and the unforeseen future. You will be the storyteller …write me. |

This is a wonderful piece. If we are remembered long at all, we will not be remembered in total. Spirit, so glad to hear from you again. Love, Joyce |

SPIRIT: Thanks for treating us to such a terrific poem! Good to see you posting again. It's been too long. What you write is so true! We are constantly changing in some way and are unfinished works of art! Betty Lou |

This is wonderful....so truthful. I never really thought of it like that. Thank You. Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." A. Brink |
