Debra Squyres Poet Rhyme

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

Robert Johnson November 28, 2012 at 12:51 PM 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! :) Debra Squyres November 28, 2012 at 9:35 PM 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.

Robert Johnson November 27, 2012 at 12:01 PM 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? :) Debra Squyres November 28, 2012 at 9:37 PM You really really need to take these little comment poems and put them together. They are inspired and inspiring.
