Snapshot
By Phalanx
The spine is a ladder equating to waves
Through the brain.
Everything we see, we remember, whether we can conciously
Bring it back or not.
There is a record.
I would replay my life.
Not for the good times,
Though I'd stop for a taste of joy to know it wasn't all bad but,
Mostly because I'd like to know where it all fell apart and
If there is any hope.
It's been eleven years since the last time I've felt any sort of peace
I cared to hang onto.
I'd like to make some more memories like that.

Phalanx I could wish you happier times as, I, a being possessing, to some degree empathy for my fellows but we both know these exercises are clap-trap and so forth..ad nauseam. The very well placed elements in this offering are not given to gain favor, shock or estrange although they might. I dont feel any are entertained when these personal declarations are uttered. I can't say for sure what you're looking for my friend but I don't think it's something as mundane as peace. There is a thing very similar in myself and it caused a smile. I'm not sure anyone could council such a dilemma and I'm sure they've tried. Eleven years is a long time my friend. A long time.

I appreciate the kind words but, disagree when it comes to such concepts not gaining, favor. People express themselves in the best ways they know, how. When someone takes the time to comment that, says enough.

The subconscious reminds us in dreams, albeit cryptically on the most part. How the mind tricks us. We can take it back. Great piece Phalanx.

More than a decade is definitely overdue Phalanx. Hoping there's a pleasant surprise just around the next corner (now I feel like Rod Sterling on "The Twilight Zone" :) Who can say when we have to look back in time and recall such things - I really need to take stock myself. Cheers for this starkly truthful poem - life can be long - Cheers! - Dan
