Suddenly it happens again, perceptions distort
Distance is further
Nearness is closer
And I am on the edge of a memory
that ever eludes me
Hovering, hoping to keep the moment
just long enough to recall
Strangeness descends, like wildfire
so important, so lost
Always failing, relativity returns
With the bittersweet opiate
Of forgetfulness

I love this. I was talking about this to someone a few days ago. Those things that I long to remember I forget, those that I don’t are in there for a lifetime.
Thanks, yes, memory is a trickster really. The harder you try to remember something the more elusive it gets. 🙂
So true; beautifully written!!
Thanks so much, as ever, really appreciate your feedback. 🙂
Nicely penned… and so true 😉
Thanks Roxi, it seems we all find memory to be an elusive beast at times!:)
