In Hiding

Just revived this one to try recording my voice with sound cloud on a shorter poem. Just experimenting...

At times

oceans of memories

flood my steadfast

moorings

yet still...

my soul

is in hiding

as the undertow

of the day's

reality

pulls me under

and pummels

my senses

leaving shreds

to be mended

at a later

time

and place

Always have to hurry it seems today. Those memories only stay for a moment and it is time to go , go, go- in my life at least.
I like the format and all that is needed is written within these lines.
Just a little bit of sadness ..
100~ percent perfect to me.

my instinct was to leave I like this very much in the little box, but then I scrolled down to find that I already liked this very much :)

There are some memories I'd like to forget and some I find comfort in. Reality does butt in sometimes and puts doubts on whether future recollections will be worth recalling. For me at least.

Always a good poem from you Pat.

Short..simple..but powerful..can feel the emotions in this one. Can relate all to well with this one.

I love how each line is so short, it makes it more powerful and full of emotion. I love it.

this is absolutely beautiful Patrick. I can relate to that fantastic drift into memories and then that all-to-sudden shift of when I am moved into the NOW. it's like we're living "in between" realities for that moment

Your short works are powerful. I like their simplicity, like the Old Rolling Stones.

I like a short format, especially one that conveys emotion in a few words. I really believe it's a testament to the writer's talent. You nailed it here.
