This Word

Memory. What is this word We taste in our mind Of unlimited remembrance And timeless obsession? This word. Of creation’s language And time’s resource. A length of admiration Or an undesirable disguise Of which to hide behind. Memory. Soft words of encouragement. Needle points of realization. Relentless beauty. A sinners worst nightmare. A tireless child. A sunset’s reappearance. This word. Trailing like a shadow. Smoke in the sky. Soundless laughter. Flowers tucked in the grass. As if all was lost But not forgotten. Meghan Newton 2006
