Ghost In The Afternoon Poem by Sonya Florentino

Beautiful Sonya. Touching, heartfelt rendition of how memories do affect us. No matter the distance in time. I love this poem. Thank you very much for sharing. :)

You have a wonderful insight into life Sonya, this reminds me of when we lose someone close and look for them in a crowd, wishful thinking I suppose, great poem, 10 Lynda xx

A moment most of us (of a certain age) will recognise. Touching and sad in a smiley kind of way.

I've done that! Great poem, kind of sad but thought provoking.....kept me interested all the way through to the very last syllable! Ruthy: -)

So intriguing, a memory comes to life in the face of a stranger

The worst is when you see somebody who exactly resembles your relative who has passed on. Because along with the feeling of recognition, comes a sensation of just how much you have lost out of your life..not pleasant at all. And yes, our age causes us to stop often- the fear of looking ridiculous seems to outweigh a lot of other concerns, doesn't it? I have a triple dose of that I think.

Because ones sub-conscious is Aware.......! ! !

Hi Sonya, I love it and can feel it. This has definitely gone into my personal favourites. Thank you

Love it. full of what ifs and might off beens

Sometimes we all feel this way when we find a familiar face among the crowd, only to realize later that we were mistaken. Strange, but the same applies to both the ones we love and used to love...
