Song In Mind

Song in Mind
By Pauline Harris

A reminder song
It can be just a note
Or a word or phrase
The memory sweeps
Back into consciousness
Bringing with it
Feelings of that moment
A moment in time
Long forgotten
Brushed into now
Smiles and tears
Recall that time
People’s faces
Once blurry
Gone in a hurry
No, wait…
Let me be there
Once again
A distant thought
Gone now
Forgotten again
Until that…
Trigger begins
To bring it all back
Take us back
Or forward
To that place
In motion when all
Will be peaceful
As we remember
Life can be at times

Song Of Mine

Silently humming
A tune stuck
In my head
Bringing many smiles
Of joy felt
From seeing glimpses
Memories shown within
Keeping the mind alive
Focused upon
The moment is here
Celebrate the joyney
By Pauline Harris

Song Stuck In My Head

A couple a days ago-

I was sitting –

And watching a show-

On it, the characters-

Began to play a tune-

On the piano-

With each stroke-

Of the keys-

My memory washed-

Over me of days-

Long since past-

Youthful and playful-

The song lingered-

And kept within-

My head-

I was in its grasp-

Willingly haunting-

My thoughts-

A giggle came forth-

Out of no where-

Or so it seemed-

To others around-

Should I let them know-

A secret so charming-

The song plays on-

Willing to listen-

As good memories-

Flood my mind-

No need to concern-

Yourself…

For I am fine-

The song plays on-

Forever mine…

The Joyney is worthly-

Of this excursion-

Through a memory

Brought flooding back
