Memory Is

MEMORY IS…by H. W. Bryce

“Memory is a kind of accomplishment…”

            —William Carlos Williams
The Descent……

Its tendency is to come and go,

A rise and fall.

Some are at the ready

Awaiting your beck and call,

Some play hide and seek,

Some tease with a furtive peek;

Sometimes they are as a dream,

Sometimes clear,

Sometimes clear as mud.

Sometimes memories are reminders

And they make us cry,

And sometimes, it seems,

The dream factory runs dry.

So, to recall a certain memory, clear,

Is a kind of accomplishment,

And, like memory, your chest rises up

With pride;

Then relaxes in descent…

Sometimes you forget what the memory meant.

Little memories are little victories,

But they loom large.

Think of memory as a muscle.

It needs its exercise.

Memorize a poem,

A song,

Make a rousing speech

Verbatim…

Accomplish

Memory!
