A Loom of Memories

I sleep tucked in my time wrap,
Floating between the dreamy skies
and the sea of reality.
The sands watch over the horizons
as I imprint them with sweet memories.
Why does the wind on my forehead,
sometimes feel like the soft caress
of my mother’s hand?
I rush through the mornings
when a kid’s cycle-
pulls at the strings of my bag,
and a scar on my elbow makes me smile.
I fascinate as how I outgrew
my kindergarten teacher-
Her petite frame was so overbearing,
not so long ago.
So many friends stopped, played along
and moved on.
I walked on only to realize
how invaluable was their touch,
and how I grew through the heartbreaks and joys.
I keep my memories with reverence.
For they are in the intricate enigmatic design
of the universe, of which I pass by, enriched.
Memories of the days when everything
new was so fascinating,
Yet, I was all knowing.
Not so long ago,
As the days pile on now
the lesser I know.
The complexities baffle me,
The beauty stupefies me-
Between sleep and wakefulness,
dreams and reality,
In this time wrap I move
With the treasure of my memories…

Great descriptions! It reminds me of the song, "Let Them Be Little" (Billy Dean)

Very good! I like the detail in the poem which is very subtle and not elaborate and keeps the taste of the poem eclectic.

no problem.... but remember, never rely on advice at the expense of individualism... you do you, so write for yourself, you know?
