memories
Proverbs 10:7
7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the reputation of the wicked will rot.
Memories
Memories what are they ... illusions blowing in the wind?
Maybe sadness fogged by glory ... in dreams already spent.
Are dreams fulfilled realities ... or just pearls on a string
to hang around a neck somewhere clasp by what could have been?
When the past comes and visits ... is nothingness a rule of thumb
for today gets covered up by the things ... that make you numb?
Are memories just made as flesh’s temporal “dictates” time?
In spirit there is no time for sure ... and that to me is fine.
Maybe in the span of things as flesh iterates
the spirit will be free indeed ... as darkness infuriates.
Jan Wienen
