Stewart Watkins Poet Narrative

Remember When

Memories, so many scratching at my brain 
So many to ponder, just wondering why things can't be the same 

But silly of me to conjure such thoughts 
Desperately grasping for the past when flux is the corridor the creator wrought 

So, this path I must continue to travel 
Meandering through the sweet joys and struggles as the knot of life unravels 

Remember when time just seemed to stand still? 
Not wanting the moment to end because everything was so surreal 

Remember when everything seemed so easy even though we knew they were not? 
Working, living, playing, learning, loving, and all idiosyncrasies we simply forgot 

The laughter and cries; the joy and pain 
We lived earnestly and courageously, never showing an inkling to complain 

Sweet memories and reflections I will carve a space in my mind and heart 
But the travel down this corridor must continue, where new experiences will soon become old memories and an ending a new start
