Mirage my memories
by poetrydiary
Mirage my memories,
murmuring mirrors, I
see shifting sand dunes; storms
sweeping shapes skywards, you
changing constantly, cage
chaos-created, my
emotions encircling
each entrance and exit.
Feeling for fixed frames, I
fly forward, finding me.

I was given a book for Christmas called “Proust was a neuroscientist” by Jonah Lehrer, knowing nothing about either Proust or neuroscience. I now know a very little about each; it is an excellent read, stimulating some new ways of imagining how memory works.
The last two lines are powerful and meaningful to me.
Thanks for recommending the topic/s ~
Enjoyed your poem immensely!
I LOVE neuroscience — it’s incredible!
This reads like a life’s journey compacted into a few short stanzas. I love the way you’ve used alliteration throughout, and the wonderful resolution in the final stanza:
Feeling for fixed frames, I
fly forward, finding me.
I love this poem, and the last two lines also said it for me. Beautiful. ~ Julie 🙂
