Wendy Rycroft Poet Rhyme

Distant Things

Deep down lurking, 
The subconscious memories live,
Actively waiting,
Pages upon pages,
A lifetime of data,
Positive and negative,
Distant things logged,
All fighting for first place,
Who would get to be?
In the forefront first,
Popping up in times not expected.
“I’m the reminder”
One thought said,
“Remember me!
I’m a part of you! The bad!
Hard times that made you feel sad”
I’d love to stay.
No! No! 
Good time memories speak,
“I come with good news, 
Not the bad,
I’m the beauty, not the beast,
Happier times to remember,
Love is what I’ll bring,
Colourful memories flowering,
Thoughts of spring,
I’ll make you sing”
Catching it quick that distant thing.

James Inman June 12, 2016 at 7:51 AM Our subconscious, always fighting with itself, do good memories make us good or just mask who we really are. A deep well written piece Wendy. Wendy Rycroft June 12, 2016 at 10:23 AM Thank you James yes is heaven and hell already in us from birth x
