Today an allusion
of an adventure
spun long ago
rests as a single eyelash
on my cheek
Memory bits
arise at times
from a distant past
like light still seen
from ancient stars
long dead
I can be content with such
haphazard recollections
since memories tend to morph
in unexpected ways
like starling murmurations
like a shoal of schooling fish
like even my own heart
Graphic of starling murmuration is available for sale at Redbubble
I posted this on May 23 but saw that the Ragtag Daily Prompt for May 24 was Memory, so I thought I would link it.
Wow! I love the movement of this – the unexpected, and the acceptance, then the realization. Beautiful! Love the graphic. Will look for you on Redbubble.

Thanks, V.J. For some reason that poem took days and days to complete. I really appreciate your comment about movement because that was the part that challenged me the most. 🙂
BTW, I am not on Redbubble. It’s not easy to find copyright free photos of murmurations I found. This site sells photos and I did love the picture and wanted to give credit and who knows maybe market the site a little for someone. I am not associated with them at all.

A peaceful poem about life and acceptance of it and all its surprising twists and beauties. Truly beautiful, LuAnne. Great image to match, too.
