Imagine!

Pressing down

on your past,

squeezing every

last conquered quest,

 

network of life

becomes like

cells of the brain,

packed tightly

into neat piles,

 

maybe

pyramid shaped,

stacked aptly

one adventure

on top of another,

 

till across time

invisible to the eye,

pillars of life's fortune

are one day ready

for excavation.

An interesting idea/picture you have depicted, Jenny.

I think most have such a mixture of 'adventure/accomplishment' memories, with emotional and treasured memories, but also memories of regrets and sadnesses – so that although pleased to amass the favourites, always a desire for an even much better (perfect and fully fulfilled) future to come – which we can ask for of God's grace.

I enjoyed this very visual poem Jenny - love the images of stacks upon stacks of experiences!

Hi Rhiannon,

this was just words that came to me yesterday. Had no idea where I was going with it, just went with the flow and thought it worked.

Thank you for stopping by to read and share your thoughts.

Hi insert,

playing around with words is a lot of fun. Isn't the subconscious an amazing thing, taking us on a journey of exploration.

Glad you enjoyed and thank you for letting me know.

Brilliant!

I especially like the choice of title. Too much envisioning this side of the pond these days.

It's great reading your comment about going with the flow and the unconscious. A key theme of the Surrealist movement: automatic painting, sculpting etc. Personally, I think there's a lot in it. We can communicate something to ourselves and to others. Perhaps not even putting our own finger on what it is, but knowing somehow that it's pleasing. Ergo the part the unconscious plays in creativity and in our lives. The primal bit, maybe.

Enjoyed reading it, thanks Jenny.

Thanks so much for stopping by to read Kevin. I think I need to go with the flow more often, it's such a fun way of writing and you never know where it will take you.

I do appreciate your words and for sharing them with me.

Thanks again.

Jenny.
