Life is a beautiful puzzle. It makes us move on yet keeps taking us back to some places where we dwelt before. Maybe there is something there, some reason beyond our understanding. I found this poem so beautiful in it's musings. ..Thanks for sharing Lydi.

The poem touched me so. You are welcome Lydi. Keep sharing your insight and light....
breathtaking!!!! I'm truly and honestly enthralled. where you, true poets, find those images and ideas such as "a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam" is beyond me.
Awhh, such lovely memories to have...a lot to reflect upon..yesteryear's laughter coming back in sweet reminecsting...perhaps it is the cryptic message from the past we can hold on to in our lives today..nice work Lydi
As always, I love the personification in this poem, particularly the moonlight touching the narrator's cheek. And the message is hopeful and sad at the same time, memories bringing laughter while equally bringing doubt of having moved on. After all, it's not the memories that hold us back; it's the not letting go of the cause of those memories. Some relationships are worth letting go, and yet others bring us laughter and nostalgia. Beautiful poem!

You saw it all so clearly, Karen. Thank you! Lydi**
don't think you ever will close this chapter of your life Lydi... "motes" within sunbeams are what keeps us going sometimes... small dust particles that roams and get caught in the cobwebs in our brains to be picked and brought out for re-examination on those moonlit nights... yes Lydi, it could be said this is one of your "cryptically nice" poems... may you have many more chapters with messages and sunbeams and even "motes"... be well my friend as you hold your remembrances....

Thank you, Curt....your reviews mean a lot to me. Lydi**
recently i watched "message in a bottle" again..
and wow...there is something in the theme of this poem...that dust mote, that reminds me of the letters that drifted on that sea...
I do believe everything happens in life has a connection and a meaning, but we need to connect the dots exactly to get the full picture, really a wonderful poem
