M-E-M-O-R-Y, Mind Games OR Tell-Tale Diary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber

Who are we? What are we? Where are we at in life’s journey, and how long may we stay? Where next, and what will we find around the next corner? More of the same, perhaps, or better, worse…? 

Whatever, we can but continue trying to work through and  make sense of those parts of us that make up the human condition; in so doing, shape and reshape ourselves and each other, hopefully for the better.

M-E-M-O-RY, MIND GAMES or TELL-TALE DIARY

Names, names, more names...
rushing the mind
like commuters boarding a train

Faces, faces, younger and older,
collage of the heart,
prize pictures in an exhibition

Places, places, and more places,
focusing the inner eye;
home movies at a birthday party

Good days, bad days, and so-so
ganging up on us
in a well-meaning consciousness

Regret, regrets, and more regrets,
like grains of sand
measuring us out in an hour glass

Mind-body-spirit, and all it takes,
for getting the better
of our worst fears, come what may
