The Feeling

To feel the freedom of youth! from out of this sentence of age. Portrayed mental montage presented by one’s, roving within clear memories. Every scene an island within the dream, each dream surrounded by years, each year diminishing with time, yet the clarity never fades, neither does the feeling! © Harry J Horsman 1993

Some people think "dreams" belong to the young, Harry. Not so! The type of dream you describe can only be appreciated by someone who sees their time here coming to an end. Indeed, "the clarity never fades." Brilliant poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Hi Harry. Sad things trigger such emotion. You captured here so strongly. Yes we just buried Dan. I sang in the church and at the graveside. so feeling a little down. Will talk later. Eamon

Yes, that is exactly the way it feels, isn't it? '...an island within the dream, each dream surrounded by years'. Very well said. For time diminishes neither the memory nor the feeling of having had the experience. Very fine writing. Take care, Deb

Graph of the poem reinforces the impression of feeling that does not fade with age .. The island is a place that keeps everything nice and sincere! Thanks, Harry for comments. They are amazingly accurate.
