MEMORY'S CHIMES (1962 ~ 16 years old)

 

 

                           How beautiful

to the mind

is memory.

 

Encapturing forever

the deepest sighs of love

and the peels of laughter,

as childhood rings

its merry sound.

 

Hear those church bells

tolling time to gather.

Repetition - is their secret.

 

Time ~ to ~ Come

Time ~ to ~ Sing

Time ~ to ~ Love

Time ~ to ~ Die

 

And the bell my mind recalls,

 

is a head held by its hair

and the reverberation

as the wall stood bravely square.

Mercy was oblivion

and a mind - no longer there.

 

Such is memory.

this is actually striking mum, yet sad .... the wording captures the very clever contrast from some having happy memories and how for some, they are not the case ... very emotive x

Zy, Yes memory is a wonderful thing when you have the ability to recall. The big things stick with me well, but the little things are soon forgotten...Tony (potleek)

Well read and understood, Sacha, a sad write, but one of truth, of childhood memories,


one from Zydha's Place which you might not have read before, thanks, Darling, Mum x

Recall can be a curse as well as a blessing to some, Tony, depending on the clarity,

I found the copy of my private site (Zydha's Place) which David did for me (at the same time as copying all previous sites for everyone else) and this is one piece very close to my heart...and is about 58 years old, though one doesn't live it every day, it is far from forgotten, thanks for reading, Zy
