I Forgot To Remember To Forget
When moonlight does fade
and morning is at its best,
basking in the sunlight
that peeps above the crest.
When rainbows flirt with meadow
then aimlessly drifts away,
sprinkling silver droplets
to dampen newly mowed hay.
When rolling clouds descend
then linger within the valley,
with grey stone walls to blend
In main street and murky alley.
When summer sunset expires
begins to wane, turns to rust,
many cloudless days to ponder
before pasture mutates to dust.
These memories have followed me
through days honest and true,
an era gone, yet a moment
to share this vision with you.
“My mind belongs to yesterday
of that I have no regret,
just like playing an old ‘78’ rpm record
I forgot to remember to forget!”
