Vergesslichkeit/Forgetfulness/Olvido

Vergessen sind die Tage, nebelleicht wie Lichter aus der Ferne, so leicht verschwommen. Die Zukunft steigt herab in uns're Zeit, bedauerlich, die Tage so veronnen. Doch schlimmer noch als täglich Leid in uns schlummernd die Vergesslichkeit ------------------------------------------ Gone are the days, as free as fog like distant lights, and slightly blurred. Future is stepping down from high above to our present time. Regrettable the days elapsed. But even worse than daily suffering is slumbering in us forgetfulness ----------------------------------------- Los días han pasado con ligero neblina, como luces de la distancia, un poco borrosa. El futuro baja a nuestro tiempo. Lamentable, los días transcurrido. Pero aún peor que nuestro sufrimiento cada día es el olvido dormiendo en nosotros

So many people become more forgetful as they age, Gert. Somehow, I seem to remember more. Incidents from early childhood still pop back into my head. But if we do forget the past, we will never learn from it. There's a message and an important lesson in this great poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Interesting thoughts that you have penned in this one..Sometimes it is an aggrevation to not be able to remember things from the past..It is worse to think that we will not be remembered but life can be that..May your day be filled with inspiration...Sara

Interesting write, thought provoking, Gert! Sometimes forgetful can be a disguised blessing, but I know what you mean here and yes, we must live in such a way to make it meaningful each day. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind comments. Alles Gute, Caroline.

sad write, I read an article to help memory it said to read and bounce a ball at the same time. Or work math problems or puzzles. It seems like maybe it helps some.
