I got some inspiration to write a little something this morning.

In the dark, memories of my past rush forward.
I see misery, and agony.
Fights among closely linked people,
The heart wounds begin to take root.
There are tears. Tears of pain, tears crying out to the Father.
I see joy also.
Story tellers recounting their life accounts.
Juice spraying from mouths bursting in laughter.
I see my family, and those not forgotten in the dirt.
I see those whom I never met, but occupy space in my heart.

The memories flood my mind. They come in pictures, and short video clips.
I love this, I don't want to leave.
I am being taken into another realm.
The emotions seduce me into a fantasy.
I lose sight of reality.
The world around me doesn't exist.
Yet suddenly, the movie comes to a close.
The memories take steps out the door. One by one, I wave them good-bye.
I am sad to leave my friends, I didn't want to leave just yet.
But reality soon takes over, and the world around me shifts forms.

poet?

Wow shiNe! that was GREAT!
Do you write poetry often?

That is only my 2nd attempt at poetry. I used to have a blog that I would write in a couple times a month for about a year. About 2 years ago God told me to start journaling. I still journal today.

Great job shiNe!, this is good stuff.

Did you follow any specific format btw?

thats an amazing poem shiNe. very descriptive and full of imagery xd i love the switch of emotions too

You should never stop writing no matter what.
Even taking pausing from recording what's in your mind, days events.

I used to keep a journal then stopped writing for awhile....of course, I wish I never stopped.
Too many ideas and thoughts lost now, oh well!

Awesome poem!

I have a book that I am learning poetry from, but for this specific piece I did not write by any format. The book had a paragraph that gave me some inspiration to write about something that was lingering in my heart. And although the poem that I wrote doesn't exactly flow, or follow any recommended format, the poem allowed me to express what I had been feeling inside and to let it go.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
@GG, it is never too late to pick up your pen!

I wrote a new piece in my blog last night.

My blog: A Mind in Awakening
Most of what I wrote about in the linked article above is from a Christian perspective. Just a heads up.
