selective memory



time slips…

fades away into the eternal distance
filled, yet forgotten
past transgressions and lessons
history repeats itself
over and over
laughing hysterically
for the rumpus delight
of the forsaken
love, let love, forget love
to love again
passionate placement
in the timeline of life
fading the memories
of long-ago forgotten
rising, to the bliss
of born-again forgiveness
again and again
forgotten
each day
time slips away…
memories suppressed
be reborn today.

  9. the ending of this leaves me high. time slipping away is a painful thing. i think it is for most people, at least those of us who aren't gurus. life is a flap of the hummingbird's wings, or something like that. and it's all true, and it makes me ache that time slips away. in fact, time moves faster as we age. when we were ten, a year was one-tenth of our lives. when we're 40, a year is one-fortieth. shorter, faster. it's true, and we need to be reminded. but it's your ending that brings the color back to my eyes better than before.

  15. You may find this weird or stupid, but somehow, I feel like I can hear a certain tone conveyed through each piece of writing. The one I heard in here, was full of ageless wisdom and calmness. Absolutely brilliant!

  20. Reborn? Too messy for me. I'll just sit here and have a lemonade. ;-)

  21. This is a scary thought for me. Everything that I've done, everything that I've felt, everything that I've said slowly gets erased from my memory. Now that's a bitch!
