Deep In The Memory

Those Feelings…
What happens to the feelings we have
Once they have gone away?
They dwell in the ether
To return another day…
When we have that pensive look
And our thoughts start to stray
Our minds drift to earlier times
And those old feelings come our way
Good or bad those feelings will
Be welcome or make us pay
It is our choice, it is our mind
Which one will you choose today?

A Story Written…
Each of us has a story
A beginning and ending
How will yours be written?
The laughs and the loves
The hurts and victories
How is yours being written?
Memories and joys
Of peace and of strife
How was yours written?
Commemorate them now
As we raise a glass
There is no more to be written…

The Argyle Emporium – A Step Into The Past…
Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time at the Argyle Emporium, a second hand bookshop in the City of Goulburn NSW Australia.
Situated in the old Goulburn Police Station, a quintessential second hand bookshop, with books lining high shelves and stacked anywhere where possible, corridors that meander through the building revealing more rooms holding secrets of literature just awaiting to be discovered!
There is something special about an old building housing second-hand books.
Natural light permeates the rooms, enticing the reader to go deeper and deeper into it’s recesses…
We all have our favourite subjects. Upon entering a bookshop I am instantly drawn to the Photography, General Art, Poetry and Writing sections.
Scanning the shelves of Poetry, my eyes glanced over the treasures kept on the shelf. Then I saw it… “A Book Of Poetry” Edited by W M Smyth, 1961 edition. 380 pages of pure joy that now sat lovingly in my hands.
100 Poets ready to guide, enthral and captivate me!
It’s only my second visit to this bookshop. I can’t wait for the next one!

Photos On The Wall
Photos on the wall
Tell our story
Convey our joys
And our history
Happy faces
Joyous moments
Richness of life
In all its components
Showing our growth
At each turn
Wanting the life
For which we yearn
Depressing times
Cast aside
Loving times
Fortifies
Presently feeling
More inspired
Love of life
Re-acquired

When Your Spirit Needs Lifting
In times of sadness
When your Spirit needs lifting
And you can feel your Heart
Is alone and drifting
Think of those times
Your Family does cherish
Your mood will be lifted
No time to perish
The precious memories
Your mind does hold
Will live on and on
Forever retold

“Remembering Dad”
When loss is here
It is so hard
Fighting through tears
Life plays another card
Thinking back
Of times well shared
Life was given
We all cared
Special moments
Come to mind
Family joys
One of a kind…
A life-long partner
Of sixty-three years
Mum shared your life
Your joys and your fears
Children, spouses and grandchildren
Arrived in this world
We remember you now
As life unfurls
You loved the horses, your Rose garden
Playing cards, a social drink
A BBQ, a discussion
And time to think
Dragons and Bulldogs
Were your teams
A staunch supporter
They were a dream
A bet on the horses
A beer with your mates
Supporting your League teams
Made you feel great!
We remember that laugh
The commanding voice you had
That sense of humour
Thanks for being our Dad
Now it’s time for you to go
And for us to say goodbye
Farewell Dad, Love you
We will remember you all of our lives.

Dad was born on 3/7/1929 and passed away on 16/1/2015.
Our Family honoured Dad’s wish of a low-key, private funeral.
On behalf of our Family I wrote the above poem which was
read out by the Celebrant at his funeral on 22/1/2015.
Rest In Peace, Dad.

The Mantlepiece Of Time
I remember that clock
That looked so fine
Ageing through the years
Just like a fine wine
It sat majestic
Upon the mantlepiece
Watching over all
A great centrepiece…
Many a gathering
Of family and friends
Celebrated here
Love transcends
The years go past
Memories hold true
Of those times gone by
For me, and for you

Etched In The Concrete Path Of Time…
Etched in the concrete path of time
Our past lives are bound
From within we ask the questions
And the answers will be found
Memories come and memories go
Of times past, of times long since gone
Enjoyable times, times of regrets
Into the ether, our past lives are drawn
Here in the present our lives exist
Do what we can, do what we must
Live for the moment, reach for the sky
Believe in ourselves, it’s a matter of trust
Into the future our thoughts do venture
What will we do, what will we be
The future in our hands, our thoughts will guide
Be what we are, be what we can with glee!

They Ring In The Air
They ring in the air
With the passing breeze
Stories are told
With consumate ease
Casting the mind back
To days before
Memories fast
Come to the fore
They gently persuade
And settle your mood
Bringing you back
To the present
Leaving your mind
Effervescent!
