CLARITY

With a clarity of recall to which I can seldom avail

Faces come back to me from so far away.

Infinite detail

Character

Moods, places, situations and thoughts

Transitions between then and now…

 

Though the extent of experience affects one, inside the premises upon which we build ourselves up and into the future remain intact, continue to enforce the rules for our behavior.

 

The places spaces inside me

Personal, secret, hidden from other’s vision

(though that be far from my intent)

Shall remain hidden and unseen perhaps forever,

the puzzle that is too intense and curious

for outsiders to pursue, to solve….

 

The loneliness of youth, frustration, yearning, search

Perhaps answered some years later through this,

This recognition…

 

The Universe inside ourselves of which we, not others,

are to be the explorers, the travelers, and ultimately the sole dwellers….

Of which at best we share glimpses of other’s

With another

Sometimes

for a while….

 

What a precious moment to recall so clearly…..
