Mind's Eye

Teddy.15

 

Looking through the windows of my mind

I remember all my sorrow

and all of my joy

 

it’s not always easy to open these windows

sometimes I need a reminder

to keep them well-greased

after all

memory is a true miracle

isn’t it?

therefor well worth the maintenance

 

the imagery that I see inside

can be a powerful minefield

choosing to run away or face my fears

confronting my very own ghosts

and things that haunt me

 

opening my memoirs to moments of joy

that I wouldn’t change for anything

closing to those

that I wish to forget forever

 

if I keep hope fresh

deep within my mind

oiled well,

I can achieve anything.

    Facing one's fears and past mistakes depends on seeing them accurately requiring not only courage but honesty. A most important message Teddy one that many ignore for the bliss of ignorance.

        The eyes are the windows to the soul. Fear is a terrible thing. If you can face up to your fears and rise above them, then you can achieve a great deal. Beautiful write Teddy. Have a happy Tuesday 🌹

          There's no learning if I forget my successes, failures, injustices - both those inflicted upon me and those I've inflicted on others. Sometimes termed learning, other times experience,
          However I express it, you’ve done a better poetic job here, Teddy
          A rich write.
