Re-calibrated Memory
I remember
what I lost when I
couldn't remember anything:
when my conscious mind
was sold to worry,
pursuit, and empty shells.
I remember that I lost
some things essential
so I purpose to reclaim
the precious Pearl of wisdom.
I remember that I lost
the JOY of being
alive another day
able to dance and play
in my own mind
by my own will.
So I build my
mental walls again:
brick by brick,
my peace returns.
