Rewriting Memory

 

Some opportunities come once in a lifetime

And then some present themselves as clear as day

But if the timing or rhythm happens to be off

That opportunity will grow wings and fly away

 

Then there are lucky happenstances that linger

As if by good grace it comforts and consoles the heart

Even when the window has closed there’s still a light

Not so much of hope but a gift when we have to part

 

And yet there was energy, a magnetic force

A strange attractor and unknown factors that last

A palpable silence that acted on impulse

Hidden in an old photo; persevered in the past

 

And yet it’s a memory that let’s me sleep

Knowing what we felt was real just not the right time

Once in a while I’ll remember with a smile

When photos remind us of what was left behind

    1. Pictures hold so many emotions.
      They are like printed memories that are clear and sharp.
      Sometimes my memory can get foggy but with a picture, it keeps it pristine.
      I loved how you tied them into this write.
