Days Without Number

You have forgotten me Days without number But I am not God I will not speak to you I will not remind you of my love I will not call you back I will not whisper to your heart... In towering tree In sky and sea In budding rose In grass that grows In sky so blue In sunset hue In mountain tall In leaves of fall In rushing stream In stars that gleam In everything In everything.... No, my voice will be still I am not God I cannot forgive I cannot forget For you have forgotten me Days without number And I? In time In time.... I will have forgotten you. Eileen Manassian Jeremiah 2: 32- Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.

That second stanza gets to me... this poem is also really awesome. I need to visit your page more often. These emotions you invoke are strong with these words. I respect the bible verse that offered some information. Write on friend. Always, Laura

For me, I worry about the devastation of forgetting. As you read in my book Alzheimer's is a real possibility. As a result I do my best to maintain an active mind. I know that's not what this poem is about but it brought it to mind.

Powerful writing, concealing, among other things, hurt,disappointment and anger feelings that are not good counselors for your kind and tender heart. We should never allow these feelings to occupy space in our soul for they might erode our good nature. I know is just a writing and a beautiful one and for that I can only exclaim: WOW!

Efkharisto, my dear poet. As the good word says...Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. It is not just a write. It is borne from my feelings unto the page. You are right. I must fight these thoughts and continue on. Thank you for being a bright light.

Thanks, Robert....I do love the wind playing in my hair. I'm a silly girl. When we go for rides in the evening...like a teenager...I still stick my head out the window and sing along to what's playing on the cd player. Shameful for my age...but I do love it. Thanks this analogy, for it is a beautiful one indeed. I appreciate the rating, and the visit much more. Blessings! :)

When you feel forgotten just remember all the love you've gotten. Never forget what has given you love, never refuse geniune love, and never stop giving your dynamic love Eileen. This poem has a beautiful composure in it's sorrow. The style rolls upon the heart. J.A.B.

Thank you for your visit, Justin. The one who gives me love, finds love in return. I believe strongly in reciprocity....measure for measure...depth for depth....strength for strength. Being genuine is indeed a highly valued trait in my book. I'm glad you enjoyed the rolling....You know I highly appreciate your visits.
