Presence of Mind

Memories so vivid
     Feelings so deep
Visceral flashbacks
     Sparked by a song

The essence of time
     Transcended
For a moment
     For just a moment

Is life linear?
     Feelings belie
Back to what is perceived
     As reality

That happens to me a lot, Mike. I'll hear a song and flashback to a different time and place. Love the poem:)

This was so cool Mike. Each stanza spoke to me, the opening the loudest. Nicely done.
