Misting

Thought about a memory just a moment gone.' couldn't recall it all; though.. Effects have lasted long.. a flash it was..' it is..? not sure.. I'd like to hold it again.! Its so important to me now, though each day I'm facing strain The man whose face reminded me, had a familiar look I vow..! something about his eyes it was.. Oh' & there seems more somehow.. he brought to me of a host of names; of thoughts to close to divide recollections gathered round his form, but now I seek ernestly; they hide.' Maybe upon a restful day my chance again will come? Yet I must now hurry, my silvered friend to leave I hope we can connect again despite the daily grief Perhaps it'll be in memory's.? or mirror image glimpsed gleams..!

The title draws us in, and the words take us from there. Great write.

You're words flow, even some of the esoteric pieces, and what's wonderful, I don't mind the passive lines, the unexplained punctuation, and the line breaks that at first glance could be distracting, but it's merely the streams of egressive thought that really make your pieces work, like Coltrane trading lines with Ginsberg reading Joyce ...

I see you are tied up in memory and maybe dreams. Me too. My sleeping hours have been crazy and my over all memory weak. I hold tight to those fleeting moments in time. Love, daver

I hear ya, Joe, and beautifully stated. There are some moments that won't linger and are lost, maybe, forever. Sad. Love, daver

Hi, Joe. I love the title you gave to this. That really seems to fit it. It made me think of my own memory and how sometimes I can't quite grasp something! Good to see you have put up this new poem.

I liked it. No, it was NOT a rant. Good one, Joe. I feel like that sometimes. Things real but at times feel so insubstantial. Who are we now compared to who we were. Great job.
