Song of my Memories

When I started this blog, over a year ago, it was something just for me.  I love words and I love writing.  I also loved the idea of sending my own words out into the world.  Even with the realization it may be read by no one.  Just the idea that something of mine could take up residency with someone else, or even just space.  Well it scared the daylights out of me but also made me feel like I wasn't withering away in the confinement of everyday life.  Domestically speaking ;)

But then, as life tends to do; it got the upper hand again.  And I became stagnant with the creative side of myself once again.  Sadly, it just happens and I understand that.
I have wanted to return to my blog again so many times.  I even have a few that I started but could never seem to finish.  I spent so much time away that I felt like nothing was good enough to blog about.

But after I dropped Ean off this morning.  I was driving and a song got stuck in my head.  It plays on the radio now, but it made me think of songs from when I was young.  You know, a song that returns you to that time.  That has an affect on you and make you remember those days, and how you felt.  Everyone has songs that create that in them.  If you don't, you need to get listening to some music!  So I got the idea for a new "writing".  I say "writing" because I don't write in any kind of form.  I never have.

Although I have thought about it many times. I have never blogged anything I've written before.  I am nervous about it but ive decided to today. I hope it makes you remember :)

Disclaimer* (I'm a terrible speller and my grammar is equally horrible.  I apologize about that.  It has gotten better and I continue to try and learn.  But I love to write, and although embarrassed by this, I try not to let it hold me back any more.)

 

Song of my Memories

Those feelings you get when you hear it

The ghostly ache in your heart of aged emotions

The corners of your mouth tugs upward, just slightly

The image your eyes see that is not visible

It’s what happens when it plays

Youth and memories are not fleeting to the heart

It sits on your chest like an old friend and whispers….

Remember?

Remember?

Remember....In your ears

And those words, and those feelings...
                                          take you back to memories of days gone by, you never meant to leave.

They fill the holes that have been excavated by time.  

 And age  

 And circumstance

And for a few moments, you are complete again

You are you again

The reunion is transcending, and you ask.  “Where did you go?  I am so glad to see you”

When it is over, you think to yourself.  I’m going to hit repeat…

But you don’t

You settle back into memories of memories

But you know it will always be there, waiting for you to hit play.  
                                                                                            Even though you may forget it, at times.  

It will always....

Beckon to you
                          Contain your secrets

Speak to you
                          Contain your memories

Live for you
                          Contain your being

For when you need the reminder

For when you need to wage war on who you are now

For when you need to be peaceful with who you are now

 For when you need to breathe.......
