I Will Remember
I will remember a world
lost to the masses,
lonely in its
material guise
and shallow soul.
I will take hold
in my heart
the memories when justice
was a worthy passion
and kindness fed the emptiness.
I will remember
the youth I left
behind
with remorse for it fed
me lies and left me
hungry.
I will remember
all those things
I fought for,
some I attained,
many I lost-
But most of all
I will remember
that being here-
Brought me the joy
of knowing there was love..
smiles. love covers a multitude you know...and despite all our challenges...ther is love still in the world...
ReplyDeleteIt has a nice air of melancholy… I like the idea of justice as a worthy passion.
ReplyDelete"when justice
ReplyDeletewas a worthy passion"
yes, this.
What a lovely ending, Lisa. If, when we look back at life we can remember such love, that is a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteOh first all reasons to remember .. and finally that end... like icing on the cake...
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI love the hardness of the reality, yet that there was some love involved, seems to have saved the total distress.....
You always seem to write in a way that captures much of my own thoughts too. A delight to seek out your words Lisa:)

ReplyDeleteVoodoo Stew
People are moving ever faster,
More spin scorches my eyes.
My value is in a state
Of constant flux,
Measured by the fleeting
Glances of women.
True solace remains
Deeply veiled.
I opt of Art,
A hearty cauldron of
Voodoo Stew.
