Remembering a Moment

A stillness in stature
caused heart to pause
a face bestilled rapture
my soul in applause

A flood of feelings
flow into me
sets my mind ticking
thoughts running free

A rushed flick of films
flow from inside
catch what I wanted
locked hells reside

Opening my hand
I gasped with awe
remembering the wonders
of forgotten befores

Glimmered in palm
A joy of life held
memories of moments
I never could sell

Nice use of imagery to capture the emotions. On thing you may want to think about is that you start out with a rhyming poem in the first three stanzas then switch to free verse. Was that intentional? Those memories are precious aren't they. Thank you for sharing your thought with us and for taking time to comment on my poem. Keep on writing! Karen
