I Will Never Forget It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Surprises come,
In all shapes and sizes.
And not always,
Are the largest ones given...
Left kept remembered,
In the mind.

There are times unexpectedly,
A shift in reality is done.
Stunning effectively,
To undo assumptions...
Manufactured to package.
To leave what has been visioned
With an 'awe',
Words can not describe.

'What...
Was that? ! '

-What was 'what'?
And why are you shaking? -

'I don't know.
It was there.
Then it wasn't.'

-Where wasn't it? -

'I'm not sure.
But the it gave to me,
I will never forget.'

-And that feeling you have?
Is what? -

'Something it told me,
Was mine not to share.'

-Well...
Maybe I should be the one,
To thank God.-

'Why? '

-Not too many people today,
Will admit losing their minds.
And then,
Wanting not to share,
Their craze.
I don't know who,
Is more blessed...
By your confession.
You or me.-

'I am serious.'

-And I am not? -
