memories

Re: memories

all old and wrinkled
cupid sags on bended knee
his arrows quivered…

;-)

Re: memories

some memories wail,

some still sing and dance for now,

some for their future.

Re: memories

wailing memories
lightning seeks the nearest ground
to close the circle…

Re: memories

Memories, good, bad

surround me like smoke. Inhale!

Exhale…now it's clear.

Re: memories

memories may fade
but fantasies of romance
and sadness linger

a bruise quickly heals
laceration takes longer
a cleaving: never!

Re: memories

starfish regrow;
trees benefit from pruning-
time always dusting.

memories now soil,
we plant the garden of life-
good humus abounds.

Re: memories

Sow good seeds to grow,

forget and weeds take over;

garden mindfully.

Re: memories

You see them as weeds.

I see them as wild flowers.

Look mercifully.

Re: memories

stacks, these endless stacks
of memorabilia
who has time for them?

more memories form
of scrambling to catalogue
all these memories!

Re: memories

A man's brain unfurls

(three pounds fat gray matter)

flat like a parchment.



Moths and moss damage,

restore, refresh in spring cleaning.

All seasons remind.



Be kind and rewind.

Someone you don't know will be

over your shoulder.

Re: memories

Who stands behind me

Looking over my shoulder?

My unknown being?

Re: memories

The future follows,

yet footsteps always lead one

where Ever one goes.

Re: memories

if future follows
then our memories must lead –
do we walk backwards?

this would then explain
why rear-view mirrors reveal
what headlights cannot!

;-)

Re: memories

Where memories lead

futures come bound in dead thoughts.

Only now exists.

Re: memories

dense fog behind us
windshield painted with dreams
what use are mirrors?

where is the drive-through?
multiplex of memories
has just one exit…

Re: memories

How would you know now
if past and future were not
framing this moment?

Re: memories

with relative ease
the mind divides the moment
into frames and panes

nose pressed to the glass
can't seem get there from here
a prime-time sandwich

how would i know me
without all my memories
informing my now?

;-)

Re: memories

Memories apart,

what is this mythical you?

Awareness watching?

You suppose you choose.

But do you create your thoughts?

Where does you begin?

Memory’s a thought.

The future is another.

Now has no edges.

.

Re: memories

Try to pinpoint now.

Your moment of awareness

is already past.



Oftimes done to you,

remember to choose your thoughts

and experience.



Choose thoughts, feelings, prayers:

choose from what you know for now,

send life on ahead.



Wake up. The future

is where it's at and it'll all

start here and now then.

Re: memories

Awareness, timeless,

has neither points nor edges

and can not be tied.


You've never chosen,

not one single simple thought.

Who thinks thoughts of “you”?


Experiences;

subtle, gross, clear or foggy

arise unaided.

Re: memories

Thank God for wise men,

memories and prophecies,

so prepped for what's next…

Re: memories

no past, no future
the hush of Truth is falling
like the first deep snow

Re: memories

Can truth be spoken?

How can silence speak to us?

Snow, ice, steam? Water.

Re: memories

truth's silent voice
wields more power than armies
in their full glory

between busy lines
the essentials disappear
from all memory

Re: memories

Truth welds hearts as one,

one silent singing in love.

There is no other.

Re: memories

.




Distracted foci,

remember one's salvation

supercedes this plane.





.

Re: memories

our path leads forward
beyond the dreaming desert
past all memory

Re: memories

.

Mindful rewinding,

able to move beyond fears,

willingness to risk…

.

Re: memories

dancing chimera
behind the velvet curtain
precedes all knowing

Re: memories

Pain can become bliss,

when it drowns all distractions

and whispers, “Live now!”

Suffering is hell –

whining the same old story,

“Why? Why me? Not fair.”

Re: memories

.



Spontaneity,
flashing blessings or curses,
sparks from memory.




.

Re: memories

Time throws many shapes,

such smoothly sweet dimensions

pouring out of now.




.

Re: memories

Now, a potpourri
of sources to choose or ignore;
what’s in your future?
