Unforgettable moments

When I read the new prompt "Unforgettable" for Writers Island I immediately started to trace my memory ...and got stuck. I've got an extremely bad memory. Or better It's is very hard to access it spontaneously. When opening a box with letters photo's and old papers I indulged in it for hours and I relived lots of unforgettable moments. I worked hard to put it into these words;

Unforgettable Moments

Unlocking the door to the remains of yesterday
 I enter a Colosseum where a king rules
by the law of Love Learning and Laughter
 hardwired and at the essence
of many unforgettable moments

I remember times surrounded by
a rainbow of Love, coloured by angels
warming my heart and sometimes
taking me up to a paradise
 where butterflies soar in Ecstasy

I witnessed a hunger to discover
 the mysteries of live, fighting to unravel them
squeezing secrets into words, followed by the delight
of the fruits of approval of the master
gratifying every taste bud

I chuckled at the priceless times of laughter
 when sparkling wit danced in comfort
 with senseless seriousness
 letting the soul fly with free spirited wings
lifted by the wind of happiness

  4. Hi Mary

    He! Mary "Walraven" , your maiden name? What a co-incident, both our maiden names are'walraven'than. (Mijn achternaam bij mijn geboorte, van mijn vader)I still use my maiden name, because I like my name, its just a habit...

    I do write/speak as easy English as Dutch, so you can write in both languages...what you prefer...

    You visited my DUTCH/ENGLISH blog, so thanks for that..(art-boiled- egg)

    I don't know anyone from New Zealand yet, we almost were emigrated to NZ, but my mom did not wanted to go (scared I quess, with 4 little children ), I would have loved it to live in NZ,I think!

    So I like your blog also, are you a poemwriter by profession or for a hobby? You do it very well.

    I am sorry to hear about your astma, why more people have that in NZ? I hope you feel any better? Please come back to my blog, I will to yours...:)

  21. to be able to pull out ones "box of memories" and never become mired in the grief of longing, disappointment anguish fear hate loathing.... that is an amazing feat...
