Memories

In the misty waters

of my mind,

i reminisce of the hallowed,

memories that i left behind.

 

Once as vivid

as night and day

now only misty memories

slowly fading away

 

Fading away

like a gentle breeze

on a summers day

but it seems everything fades away

 

Even those

hallowed memories

of me and you,and the feelings,

that we once knew...

It is what it is as they say. I find myself forgetting many things these days. I actually tried to pull up the name of my first love, which was always at the front of the brain. But it took a minute to remember him. I guess our brains get crowded and maybe it is a cleansing to free up space sometimes. Or at least that's what I choose to imagine lol. An excellent thought put to poetry!

I have a very mixed emotional response to this. There is definitely the overriding sense of acceptance, which you show as natural and inevitable. This is a depressing reality, as lovely memories are lost, but also makes me feel as though life is just carrying on and the memories are constantly being replaced and the loss of some is healthy, rather than obsessing over the past and wishing you were in a better time that you can't return to.

it was actually written for a friend with alzheimer's,
thank you for reading

That's an incredibly difficult topic to approach, especially when you have a personal connection to them, but you have done this so beautifully, shown how with illness which the sufferer has no awareness of the horrificness, it just slowly and irreversibly fades. Well done. It made me think of my Nan who suffers from depression due to being unable to leave the house a lot and her fixation on memories has increased the problem, so memories can be both a gift and a curse.

[wordman]

yes it is a difficult illness to handle,sorry for your nan

[Emma]

Everybody knows what a poem means and a day later they know it means something else. I know something that won't change and that's the sound and feel of this poem. Tomorrow it will sound just as sweet and feel just as good.

[wordman]

thank you for that kind review,thanks

i am happy to know that this poem describes the steps towards moving on, and it is really true that not all memories deserved to be kept and treasured, there will come a time that it has to be thrown away and be forgotten.

[wordman]

it covers many things,memory loss from a disease maybe,thank you for reading

[sette]

This is the way it is! Everything that is sharp and clear and bright fades away to a shadow of what it was. Live moves on for everyone and we reach another stage but with luck we have new memories to savour.
Well done for this reflection on life.
Kindest regards, alan
