Lost memories

The glass is dark
Black clouds roil within
In vain I try to see

My orbs of sight are straining
Sensing something buried
Deep within that endless night

Show some sign of life
A spark to split the gloom
Let me see, oh let me see

The glass tilts, the darkness swirls
Tiny shreds of something within the ebony unfold
Hidden for so long

Part this cursed blackness
That light may shine on me
And show me the past I need to see!

I enjoyed this very heartfelt and deep seated lament of searching forgotten memories for pieces that matter, and keep because they do... Good write here..

I truly have no memories before I was 11. That is where this piece came from. Thank you for your take though. It's a great way to look at it. :)

When i read this one i think of an hour glass filled with black sand of time. "The glass tilts and the darkness swirls" emptying hidden memories into the light."part this cursed blackness" "show me the past i need to see" i loved it. i gave you a 10. buried within are memories of life and death...Don Folks

free, sorry, LOL!

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
