Fractured Memories Remain
Frctured memories remain
over and over in time again refrains
embedded in the mind dearly
it's the heart that sees more clearly;
simple and politely attained
focused on the encounters and love gained
was it sunny that day
or did it rain?
A first love experience is often lost to clarity
delightful and innocent predictive familiarity
recollected awkward sophistications
the when and why of final destinations;
looking back the mind can focus
on the mix and match hocus pocus
but the heart alone can see
the future you and me.
Some fifty years have passed away
tears and laughter shared over those days
do you remember them as well as I
always wondered who would be first to say goodbye;
they're only sweet memories dusty now
together we got thru them all somehow
with minds and bonded hearts
those memories live tho we are apart.
