Memories

I can see them, feel them. I can replay them, dwell in them, control the world in them I can. I can be a rich man in them, win the game in them, the premier league in them, I can. Alas I cannot grasp them, hold them, caress them. Like the gentle tear, they just float away! © Harry J Horsman 1993

I just love this one seeing it again, harry. I feel this way too so it's one I really relate too There are a few memories I am just dying to be able to "feel" again.

For me, Harry, it's hard to replay them as if good, l if they were not good. I am bad at visualizing and changing things like that. but all the rest of this really rings true for me. The last stanza is amazing!!
