Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

Live Again

Sympathetic symphony surpasses maudlin expectations
While feelings of the heart enter through the mind
Pictures of the soul are formed through musical memory
As recollections of days become much easier to find

Allow not tears to alter your perception, so smile
Relive the many days that conjured up the tears
It may be hard, but truly welcome the flood of memories
For it may be all you have to help throughout the years

Recall, relive, reenact and often times replenish
Your mind can truly use the conversation with your heart
Allow yourself the pleasure of enjoying all those memories
Rolling back your time and reliving them from the start

Charles Fuller July 8, 2008 at 6:45 AM This is certainly one of the best I hve read in quite a long time. How true that we would like to relive some of the beautiful moments in time...hard remembered moments. SOmetimes those moments remind us we are still alive, to live. Prophetic words my friend. My best to you, Charlie

Kristin Reynolds July 8, 2008 at 4:21 AM I agree with Shari, that line is brilliant. Some memories are so hard to relive (Man, I have years of memories my brain will not let me access - just blackness) but is ESSENTIAL for growth! Well written, like the alliteration, too. Blessings to you, Kristin

Shari Lamb July 7, 2008 at 7:05 PM I love this line, "Your mind can truly use the conversation with your heart." No truer words were spoken. You are a minister through poetry soothing souls. Blessings, Shari
