As in a Game of Hide-and-Seek

     Memories dart in and out
       as in a game of hide-and-seek

     No sooner do I focus on one
        than off it has sneaked 

     My reflexes as tardy as my hair is gray
        remembrance plays keep-away

I agree with your words, Gershon. Using 'hide and seek' as a metaphor for memories is brilliant! Well done. Faving.

Appealing to the"younger"crowd ...hide and seek and keep away have been banned...next you'll be talking about "pinning a tail on a donkey"...
