WHEN MEMORIES SEEK CLOSURE
IT'S SOMETIMES HARD TO FIND
WHEN MEMORIES LINGER
IN THE CORNER OF YOUR MIND
SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS
TO QUESTIONS UNASKED
SOMETIMES IT OCCURS
THEY BECOME UNMASKED
THE TRUTH IS REVEALED
WHAT ONCE WAS CONCEALED
PRESENT IN THE PAST
SURFACES AT LAST
I SURMISE THE MIND
TIME TRAVELS ALL THE TIME
Author's Notes/Comments:
THIS ORIGINALLY ENDED WITH SURFACES AT LAST BUT AS I WAS TRANSFERING IT OVER HERE THE LAST TWO LINES CAME TO ME...THEN I WAS DEBATING WHETHER TO STILL CALL IT PRESENT IN THE PAST OR TIME TRAVELS .I OPTED TO KEEP IT THE ORIGINAL TITLE SINCE IT WAS ABOUT MEMORIES....OVERTHINK MUCH...IT'S A BIT LONGER THAN USUAL. I LIKE TO KEEP MY POEMS SHORT....
THE INSPIRATION CAME FROM PSYCH...A LINE THAT SEAN'S FATHER SAID ABOUT AN OLD CO WORKER OF HIS WHO HAD CONFUSING THOUGHTS DUE TO A MEDICAL CONDITION I FORGET IF IT WAS EARLY ALZHEIMERS...SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT HE SAID.... SOMEWHERE IN THE CORNER OF HIS MIND THERE IS A MEMORY A LINGERING MEMORY SEARCHING FOR CLOSURE.... I REWOUND IT A COUPLE TIMES TO GET THAT LINE THAT INPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS POEM. I LOVE WHEN I AM WATCHING STUFF AND HAVE TO PAUSE IT CUZ SOMETHING LIKE THAT JUMPS OUT AT ME FOR INSPIRATION, DON'T YOU...
