seemingly forgotten



seemingly forgotten

there are times i wish to remember
what i have seemingly forgotten
of a time that used to be
childhood . . .
perhaps
a love . . .
yes
a love of a life i used to know
when the sunshine brought smiles
as it only does sometimes these days

i know that i am blessed
to be here,
but am i really here ?
am i really feeling what i should ?
am i letting this supposedly grand moment we call life slip by ?

there are times i feel un-whole
like there is a hole
in my soul
it does not always hurt
but it always aches
for something i seemingly forgotten

i remember the cookie jar on the counter
at Nanny’s
sugar cookies i think
yes they were extra sweet
as are these memories
i seemingly forgotten
the whole lot and
when i was a tot and
it was hot and
it was July again
and me and my friends
went swimming
as i am now doing
to survive
stay alive
in this sea of abysmal noise
in the silence of the memories
that will not come to me
that i may see
with some semblance of verity
the answers to the questions
about me
yes . . . about me

they say i am free
to do what i may question
dream about a grander land
it’s me and Dick Clarke and Bandstand
making a last stand
to understand
or over-stand
man
what’s the plan
to recoup
the soup of my soul
don’t care much for Chicken Soup
or much for groups
and such
i am just trying to remember
what i have seemingly forgotten
the whole lot and
the days of pot and
those heady dreams
where i really did believe
that i could achieve
the recollection
by way of reflection
and introspection
yet there is no detection
and still . . .
there are times i wish to remember
what i have seemingly forgotten
of a time that used to be
childhood . . .
perhaps . . .
one love . . .
yes
