I want to walk through forgetfulness--

emerge on the other side

 

quiet

 

and whole

 

and content

 

free of imagined demons--

bathed in the river of the unremembered.

i love this. how I wish I could forget some things! but somehow they linger, and often overshadow the present! frustrating, but life. if you do not remember the past, you can not appreciate what is happening now. great words, Emily! such great word choices and carefully designed. well done!

Care to have someone to walk by your side?

[Dane Osborne]

Emily, you really got something going with this. I would try to expand upon it. Right now it comes off as just the beginning of something but a beginning that is quite perfect.
