Stashed

A 5 7 5 now stored on my hard drive...

Stashed

 

That left over view

We consign to memory

For ever held safe

Author's Note

Unfortunately for many remembering not to forget becomes increasingly impossible...

You are right Neville,
Memories fade with time,
in accordance to their relevance.
Stronger ones struggle to stay,
kicking the old trash all away,
rumble in the head stash,
memories fighting for survival,
Stronger ones live,
weaker ones die.

This happens everyone,
Thank you for waking my spirit up.

Well, well written!

[Neville]

If your spirit is awakened .. I am delighted and true... thanks a million...

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

my pleasure..., Neville.

Your poem brings to mind how a young friend gave me a little word slap becuz I did not mention his 33rd b-day this week. I long-ago crossed b-days off my list as some of the useless crap I do not have the capacity to remember! *smile* Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

Ah remembered friends.. I bet they felt so much better when you explained the whole thing Margie... Reality orientation and reminiscence therapy can be soooooo therapeutic (MEMS) fondly... cheers N

You are welcome my friend.

I’m constantly discovering things I have forgotten. Terrible thing is I have sense that my memory is clear. I suppose it’s the forgetfulness that allows me to feel that way.

My kids keep me in check, though. They tell me vivid stories of their own memories and I realize I do not remember those moments.

It’s funny what we hang on to. I don’t think I’ll ever understand the maze of memory. But it’s lovely to have the ability to relive things through it, and also to rediscover forgotten experience with the help of others who were there with you. As the years go by, I require more and more of that assistance. Yes.

A thoughtful little musing here, Neville. Something I well understand.

[Neville]

thank you Eilis .. so much appreciated as always..

Safe in the memory bank or in our writing, or in old photographs, that's where we go to bring them back to life. Happy Sunday Neville.


Chris

[Neville]

Yes indeed, something like that served as the inspiration for this little scribble... thank you Chris and have a good one yourself.

It't going to be a rainy one by the look of it :)

Those that we hold safe in our memories... now and then taken out just to wrap our heart to remind us how precious some moments are and will be forever.
Your 5,7,5 alignment stirred 575 sentiments and sensations, dear N.

[Neville]

thank you dear M... your visit means a great deal to me... N :)

[Mrudula Rani]

It's a mutual feeling, dear Neville. Espero que tudo está ótimo com te. Bom Domingo.

[Lorry]

I remember now. That's where I put them. Oh! I've forgotten the password. Was it the brain melt chronicles or fluffy pixie 26?
Nurse! What the hells my name? No! Not the restraints again. Please!

[Neville]

relax mate and ya won't hardly feel a thing.... cheers n stuff... Me :)

[Patricia Wedel]

Like a Castaway... we have stashed away our dreams for coming true...
and then right out of the blue... I knew without a doubt that memories
will appear in formations of unrequited love... on the wings of a dove...
truly, Pat

[Neville]

thank you dear Pat and true..... N :)

[Fay Slimm]

Stashed in love's folder those mem'ries will stay - -- and consigned to a hard drive will never escape....... .... I like the slow flow of this 5-7-5 Nev.

[Neville]

and to think moments before it .. we were merely sixes and sevens... bless you friend and poet... N
