    As The World Caves In

    Sometimes I wake up in eternal darkness.And I really wish to escape.All the plans and memories that fade. That distract me from my loneliness and woe.They protect me from war and foe.Slowly over the years,the sun slowly got brighter. But it...

    • Outstanding piece of writing Pinkdreams. I never walked into a Publix, since there not located in the NY tri-state area. Your memories and description of this store is unbelievable. The poem was done so well that as I began reading it, I knew and felt we were in the early to mid 70’s. The photo is also an extra bonus. As we get older, certain places and landmarks disappear. Our memories may fade a bit as well. At the same time, a certain item or smell may bring us back and reboot memories that were stuck somewhere in our brains decades ago. Nice work.

    • VoI- Thank you so much for understanding, and for the nice praise. It means a lot to me.

      • I enjoy poems or stories from people that can tap into their memories and write a compelling, nostalgic piece for that moment in time. You totally succeeded here.

    • So good to hear from you. I think you did offer condolences back then, so thank you then and now.

      Why did I think you lived in Texas? I’m so envious of those experiencing Fall and cold weather. 91 this afternoon in Phoenix. Stupid.
