Sudden Recall

memories still linger
after they’re gone
when light chases dark
and night becomes dawn
all I shall remember
never to forget
can not let it go
no….. not yet
there are things
you can never explain
pieces of your soul
you retain
stored in my mind
to recognize the part
where special things stay
locked in your heart

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

interesting paradox. LP

Day in Day out...My love for you grows.
Without you, my life would be empty. So I hold my mustard seed of faith in us.

I really like the way the words interplayed here -

'when light chases dark
and night becomes dawn
all I shall remember
never to forget
can not let it go
no….. not yet'


Just has a nice feel to it !

As light begins in darkness...so pain still remembers love.  I've known this forever it seems, though could never quite get it into words.  Thanks for doing just that!

we can't help but here an old song . . .

I beleive such memories are the building
blocks of renewal within the soul.
Without them joy and sorrow have no
foundation for building new and better
tomorrows.
Lovely and inspiring words Dear Lady.
