David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Knowing That I Am

Knowing That I Am
David J Walker
 
I’ve tried to keep my memories
Of seasons in  separate shoeboxes 
As time lapsed photographs of
Of Summers and  Falls
Winters and Springs
So that all might be compared and 
Shared as the layered things in a 
Lifetime of meanings
Pictographs etched into whatever 
Is left of my DNA 
Holograms to be reviewed
One day from every angle 
And they will say  that I am

Caren Krutsinger January 2, 2021 at 4:23 AM I think as I get older, this is something I think about more and more often. I like the way you write. David Walker January 2, 2021 at 5:24 AM Thanks again, Caren. My sense of time is always in the present. Every day is every today as well.
