A Path of Remember |

A cosmic thought far into the reaches of space within the myriad of cells of a mind. Whisking past memories of times left within dark recesses places seldom visited a locked door. The creak of hinges dry in need of the oil of forgiveness anointing of a soul Darkness within the expanse where countless lessons lie hidden from view by others but clear to one A slim thread of light reflecting against a darkened wall a memory. Where does a memory take me One that sits at the end of the beam waiting for a hand to grasp to hold and touch The path of stone where weeds have grown through endless cracks needing only to be traveled one last time. And as a soul returns along a winding path of remember let the walk be stepped by feet on wings of wisdom and remembered as only a memory where one has trodden and learned |

...And as a soul returns along a winding path of remember let the walk be stepped by feet on wings of wisdom... exactly the way this needed to be said, and heard... |

Nancy.... Thanx...may we all take our memories...those we may have felt badly about and place them where they belong....as a tool to help us learn and grow...not as something to help us destroy ourselves by reflecting on them in such a way that they always cause us to feel shame or guilt... Grow from them and let them go.... Deca...well said...thank you very much... exercising a little positive reinforcement. |

"Where does a memory take me?" That is my favorite line. Nice write, my friend Sandra |
