Obscure Remembrances

Have you ever inhaled a memory? Planted in the past Shadowed trails With elusive tales Just beyond your grasp Have you ever chased this memory? Seeded in the past A kite drifting away Its string teasing Just beyond your grasp Have you ever caught a memory? A once elusive task Its phantom tail Once envisioned Now held within your grasp Have you ever held a memory? Embedded long ago Seeded and fertilized Tended with love Knowing you’ll never let it go ~~Debra Squyres~~ ~~11/26/12~~

Hmmm? Is my style of comment rubbing off on you? :) It was awsome bty. You certainly set the bar a little higher. Not that this kind of thing is a competition. :) I'm just always so glad to have my friends visit and comment and hope that my poetry isn't so sad as to be a bummer. I enjoyed being inspired by this write of yours. I am taken places with my words I don't go to on my own. My heart is full with your wonderful warm wishes. Thanks! :)

lol...thought it was time and your words inspired me to write that :) I enjoy friends visiting my poems too. I visit a lot more than visit me, but I enjoy reading, so no big deal. Sometimes my words take me places out of the norm too. Let it flow !! Blessings my friend.

Breath in deep, the sheltered sea. Who's mist holds mistic memories. The stars are falling one by one into it's waves cast from the sun. The shadowed essence just out of sight. Is all that's left after the night. Hi Debra, so glad to read another of yours. Grab that inspiration where you can. It does seem to come in the middle of the night. Remember? :)
