Mastering Memory

Who would have ever thought All of living could come to this Mourning over what was A perpetual state of exclusionary bliss Pop! Went the weasel, as she moved, Toward the only difference to give her voice While he skipped along behind As the man who yielded to woman's choice Out from original creation, she came He, never quite...the same Throughout HIStory, memory of time Has scratched on the dotted line Lie after lie, causing man to believe Nothing of the original creation Learning passed new and tantalizing sensation To bring humanity to retrieve ............................RESTORATION She was brought to humanity On cloven tongues, fifty days from ascension To comfort and teach, maybe even reach The part of the mind that desire's retention One span of time was devoted to feeling The second, the age of reason arrived When Wisdom looked upon her children She sighed with relief that TRUTH had survived .......................treason In the bed, yes, always in the bed The majority are fighting off attacks of fear Some sleep in comfort, with memory Replaying all the dreams of previous years Still, there is a remnant.....engaged in battle Riding to war without a comfortable saddle .................Mercy riding on Wings of LOVE It's that line, that ALWAYS leaves void, in the mind And that incessant need pulling back on the DIVINE .......................for Pity's Sake............let me at least......................REMEMBER Written by Trudy Schrader on 05/29/2020
