Time's Game

Teddy.15

 

 

 
Even when time moves us on 
time can stand still
It's true for me anyway
 
I often stand in a moment 
remembering what once was
perhaps a piece of music playing?
or a word muttered from a voice?
triggering my mind just to freeze in that second
 
sometimes it's easy to forget 
we have our very own
built in library of history and imagery 
memories we cherish 
memories we'd rather forget 
 
I know in those moments
when I'm standing with time
just when in my mind 
I have a truly joyful memory
I could stand all day
in that one moment.

          Lovely thoughts you created here. We all have our own precious memory bank Teddy. I delved into mine for a few moments after reading this poem. Yes, I expect you are thinking about your London as Christmas approaches. A beautiful poem of reflection. 🌹

            Precious memory bank for sure, on those occasions we have those more warm and fond memories, I'm hearing Xmas music more and more as we get closer to December and I just can't help but think of home. Thank you dearest Cassie ❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

              Even in the present we can feel in the past .. or think of a memory . We need to feel or think of something nice , and can find comfort in that

              Good writing teddy .

                I hear you there are times where you wish that it would freeze and not move onward. Nicely worded Teddy

                • Teddy.15

                  Yes, frozen in time someday I also wish this. Thank you my dear sorrenbarret 🌹
