I Still Remember

I know you from where we cannot be known yet or I may not remember Places I don’t look you stand in corners and speak with passion I am lost on black asphalt light lines dash and you burst past You swim in mirages emerge a ghost a sparrow invisible I can not tell where you are we travel too far down the spiral staircase There is a memory, a frame you fit there, or walk away and I forget it is you *** July 2, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

I really like this one. I understand What your words are saying. Do your thoughts grow in places you do not look?

That is one way to explain yes, you come close. It's a sort of déjà vu experience, where you get to see a glimpse of yourself from time to time, descending into your own depths, but it is elusive.

Our memories are like a gallery that we can visit often, they will always be there if you choose to see them. Deeply thought provoking my friend.

Yes, and they can be evasive. You think you see them, but they escape when you try to see them more clearly, when you turn your head. Thanks my friend.

Wonderful ... and very intimate. I feel almost an intruder as I read this, yet you have chosen to share, so I am blessed. My kind of read ... loved it.
