soon to be content(a temporary title)*

Thoughts just...

have a way of

ending abru....

 

very few people

ever

remember

you ...as a person

 

maybe if...

everybody ...who thought you

made a difference in their lives

one way or  another...I mean...

really felt us...pass on.

you think you would leave?

 

of course you wouldn't

forget that...

 

many people think of you

every single day...

damn, David!

one of the most beautiful and heart rending things I've seen out of you, and that is high praise indeed! The kind of poem that puts sepia tone in my brain, nostalgia though there is no specific situation evoked to be nostalgic about. Still, you have made me nostalgic. Mark W.

btw...

and understand that I am no spelling ace by any means. But... it is "temporary." Also, is it content as in happy, or content like "this is soon to be part of the content of a larger poem?" Thanks! Mark W.

The acrostic mnemonic

Thank you mark you made my week. I relly bust my self for this one. The acrostic mnemonic device for reflextion upon our rememberance. The Very Memory Of Me....well how can I title that. Both are correct the temporary is for life soon to be CONTENT= or sustained soon To be CONtent=soul or fillings a chance to help a person think nostalgic I am humbled I tip my hat and hope you share many more memories before it is your turn to pass on. It is good to have my contents back. In ink, David

and I salute you

oh bearer of the acrostic torch. I sheepishly admit that I didn't even see the acrostic before I read your reply. (weird, since I usually look for them in your poetry.) I think it fits perfectly with the message of the poem. As for the title I'm not sure I would change it, I think it serves the poem well. Mark W.

Let us wish the ghost in our life passage letting go

of their souls...but holding onto their memories. The portal through which they visit us. let us forget the wicked and corrupt who have tainted us for we keep there taint alive and growing with our reminisces. but that is a different poem this one is for reflection. Sometimes people need help collecting their memories before they pass.all we have to do to help them is listen

In death....

we pass on, but if no one remembers us or thinks about us while we are still here, what is existance? Does a wolf howling in the wild that no one hears exist? Of course it does. But is it meaningful? Quality of life is quite important and memories keep hopes and dreams alive, so be content and have enough within. Therein lies peace of mind if not bliss my friend. I know lots of people think about me, some a lot, so I try not to let being alone in my abode get to me. Good write!!! Have a good night my friend. :) Patrick

Thank you Damon

As we remember others so will we be remembered as a person that took note. In ink, David
