OUR DAYS OF FUTURES PAST

Our days within the circle of love we call family

How simple do we think of them as each day passes us by

How normal do they seem

                            Sometimes there is a feeling of electricity within the air

Those moment s not soon forgotten

Sometimes the most basic of times go unawares

Sometimes the most basic of times are the best

                        Remembered only in a photo

Remembered only in passing

                                That picture

Those words

                   They spark an eternity of memories

Flooding your soul

               Filling your mind with love

Drowning you in the times past

                    So caught in the moment do we take it all for granted

So caught in the moment of life

                                                  Do we let it all pass by

Until old age comes

           Forcing us to slow down

Giving us the chance to flip through dust covered albums

                       Giving us the chance to remember

Remember the times we lost while caught within the fabric that created them

Letting us see the emotions that ran

                                                   The loved that flowed

Without anyone ever really knowing it

                                              How sweet the thought

How nice the picture

That now hangs pride of place

                                            In your living room

How sad you forgot the time

                                           Until all in the picture had passed

Hmm,this is thought provoking.
I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
How people are intertwined, and why, and what about love.
I'm parting out the photos from the family albums,
and thinking how so many years are just a speck.
The times we seem to have forgotten are really a part of us.
Good write, Oregon man.

Thanks Kahlil.

I wrote this after stumbling upon a bag of old photos, looking through and seeing faces I know I can never talk to again.

I realized just how much I ignored the obvious when it came to friends and family until too late.
