"Nautilus Forevermore III"
by Kathryn Henneman
"Depths of Matchless Recall"
The human mind…amazing…a
truly magnificent creation.
Godly by design, with
depths of matchless recall…a sensual saturation.
I can close my eyes, clear
my mind of all the collective clutter.
Then let my weary soul
lift up on wings that quietly flutter
Back through time so
effortlessly to nearly forgotten places
To treasured friends and
bittersweet lovers, now cherished, ageless faces.
Again we are caught up in
time…youthful, wild and free.
Together we laugh, we
dare, we love…unafraid to simply be.
It might have been just
circumstance…the music, or just the time.
Whatever it was, it has
become a most lovely memory of mine.
And
sometimes, oh so quietly, that memory comes along
A certain sound, a smell,
a touch…the words of a familiar song.
Then time dissolves, and
there we are wrapped in youthful passion
Intense emotions, feelings
so tender, embrace me with obsession.
In my youth I was a
dreamer…imagination my best friend.
My mind could safely take
me places and bring me back again.
Now all those places of my
youth have become sweet memories.
I hold them close within
my heart and cherish each one tenderly.
The human mind…amazing…a
truly magnificent creation.
Godly by design, with
depths of matchless recall…a sensual saturation.
