Notes About The Poem

Shine

"Life overflows with brilliant memories-  
     lodged deep within to find again and see."
                                                by Poet 

I ponder on a word that means so much-
     a word that congers thoughts of lucent things
grouped as those objects we observe or touch-
     such as the glowing moon- or diamond rings.
 
Yet, special is that shine that dwells within-
     those memories that spark a recalled scene,
then rises to our thoughts as we begin
     to search that field of images still keen.

So many gems lay sparkling in our minds
     of wondrous days and years, we can recall;
and each gets glossier as it unwinds-
     while joyous recollections shine- enthrall. 

Pray that our shiny jewels are kept sublime-
     as we proceed to polish them with time.
