A Distant Omitted Memory Reawakened Poem by Kellyn, A Grau

The shadows dance across my window pane.
The trees towering vines seem to pout towards the ground.
The moon peeks its head out of the clouds above
And whispers of secrets locked away in my heart

The wind kisses my cheek and comforts my sorrow
The night time lullaby hushes my fears away
Then the twilight gives way to the waking suns rays
And I peek my head out from under my slumbering bed

So its morning again, another routine plays
The distant call of a forgotten part
Still plays a role in my head
Where did I put that piece of my soul?
Has the distance swallowed it up whole?

As I wander the days trying to remember
It’s right on the tip of my minds folder
Yet I can’t quite put my finger on it
The memory I so desperately seek to remember

Then a flicker of light sparks a thought in my head
And I start to comprehend the missing link
Oh that sweetness is what I have forgotten
The part of my soul I so deeply admired

So with a deep sigh I close my eyes
And take in a slow breath to collect myself
I reach into the depths of my being
And rip back the person I knew so well

This brain washing affair has been condemned
And now I can become the person I once was
With hopes and desires and a compassionate gesture
No more frowns and straight forward complexions

It feels so wonderful to have not forgotten
What it was that made me so special
And though I strayed far from my persona
At least the new days returned it to me
My sweet innocence and passion for life
