It's All In the Mind

It's all in the mind to be remembered, Layers in time to be rediscovered. Memories are vivid colours, either Good or bad, like shiny specks spread through time, Permeating and embossing a life. Pause and consider, it's all in the mind. Hidden deep and quiet, you can fall Through a hole in your own reality, Seeking to rescue tenuous treasures From the deep pockets of experience. These live on in the darkness, though pockets Age into holes, but it's all in the mind. The mind is a dark, untidy cupboard To be sorted out on a rainy day, Just very gently. Its recesses hold The memories of a lifetime in trust, Carefully interleaved with the days From the beginning. It's all in the mind.

Thank uou for your kind remarks. There are many good things hidden in memory which should not be allowed to slip away from us.
