Beautiful poem about memories Barry. There are some beautiful lines in there (disheveled and blown like autumn leaves) that evoke the feelings that arise when we steep ourselves (or try to) in these memories. I love pulling some of them off the shelf, while others, I prefer to keep way in the back beyond my reach. The ending is melancholic and speaks to the difficulty in retrieval of such memories...they're not always available to us no matter how much we seek them. Peace to you.

Memories enrich our life. As far as possible, these are systematically indexed by each one of us but despite that it is not possible to retrieve those images 3D. This is indeed a masterpiece. Thanks. disheveled like the windblown autumn leaves the wind conspires to stir the leaves like grief

Pretty, yet sad.... We need to know when to hold on, and when to let go... When to fight, and when to give in. I believe that, instinctively, we do know- - or, we will when the time is right. Beautiful, thought-provoking poetry still emanating from the lovely mind of Barry Middleton.

Beyond the pulse of everything that breathes still you keep memories with you like the leaves of beautiful autumn. Very deeply worded brilliant poem is presented here that recalls youth. Voice fills this silent pantomime. An excellent poem this is...10
