Notes About The Poem

scattered dream | Tumblr

far off memories

far off memories
like scattered dreams
lie dormant
waiting 

to come to life
              and haunt
                   hurt
                    cause negative emotions

good dreams
      where are you hiding
           those wonderful dreams
                    with grand emotions

are you layered 
      deep within
         the recesses of those cogs
              where the wheels have not turned
                       in a very long time?

Sad that we are constantly visited by sad memories. We wonder where all small memories are hiding ! "are you layered deep within the recesses of those cogs where the wheels have not turned in a very long time?". Love this poignant question at the end.

Yes, Panagiota, it is best to put the past in the past, forgiving ourselves where we failed, forgive others where they failed, but we don't forget and those things can surface once again in a dream or during the day from some unusual happening, odor(scent), or some crazy memory can pop-up. Thanks for the kind review and great advice. Your presence is always appreciated. Sara K

Oh yes, the rollercoaster ride of memories that can bring many poignant emotions to life & then our souls yearn to feel the soft sunshine of beautiful dreams which can ascend us from the tormenting pain.. A very evocative and meaningful piece, dear Sara. I can deeply resonate with the feelings that you've woven.. Beautifully inked! Sending you love & light...

It's funny how a smell or a song can bring those memories to the surface. A shame it brings unpleasant ones to the surface too. Tom

Yes, Tom, at one time some little something would bring back a memory from long ago, but it has not happened for a very long time. Thanks for dropping by and for taking time to leave a kind review of my work. Sara K

Very nice , Sara. I think I don't let memories affect me. I guess I never had negative ones terrible enough to haunt me. My problem is dealing with pain caused by a drug I was urged to take . This is why I have no trust in Big Pharma.

Andrea, I am sorry for the pain that is caused by a side effect from a prescription drug that you took. I am sorry that it seems it is permanent. I hope that something will show up to make it go away. Thank you for the visit and nice review of my work. Sara K
