MEMORY AND INTUITION

Memory and Intuition

 This is how memory works.  

If you want to forget you remember. 

If you want to remember you forget.  

One day your memory comforts. 

The next day it torments. 

A memory never finishes.   

 An angle out of view, it travels side-to-side.   

A broken mind with broken thoughts

Does not a memory find.  

Where there's a memory shadowless, 

Its shelter fills our heart.

My childhood home, my children small, 

So much that's real and true. 

Or, memory takes a hurt and rags it like a bone.

"Leave me alone," we say, yet it does not. 

What's over not our choice. 

But intuition quite apart,  

Itself a memory shadowless, 

On it we can depend. 

Our intuition holds our hand as we approach the wall. 

   Unready for the news we fear 

Forever heart on hold.

It doesn't let us fail. 

With intuition there's no doubt, 

It's always on our side.  

With memory we can fall right through 

And land upright or not. 

But intuition could be God, 

Its saving grace a balm. 

Its wisdom greater than our own,

Its insight only bliss.
