Thoughts Remembered

Thoughts once lost at sea

in waters of pure madness.

Sailing throughout the years,

in a vessel made of sadness.

But after three years adrift

some memories made it home.

They had hit a land of light

where they'd be free to roam.

Happy thoughts from long ago

and those since lost in time,

have risen from the mental ashes

to thrive in a bright new mind.

Some of them are beautiful

while others shrouded black,

But no matter what they seem,

I'm grateful that their back.

This last week has really been a tough yet exciting one. Some memories that had been lost for years are slowing reappearing. Some funny, some sad, but overall they are in a bright nature. Having these memories trickle in has been a mixed blessing. While it is nice to have these lost images back, for me at least, these images bring alot of pain. All the pain and emotion I had when I lived these emotions for the first time, I'm experiencing all over again as if for first time.

I was chatting with my friend L about all this a few days ago. I can say, truthfully as a man, I was crying my eyes out the whole time. And if you think that's girly or unmanly, I'll kick your ass :). But, overall I'm glad these guys are back. I had truly forgotten those great and not so great times.

Remember, memories are like family. Whether you love em or hate em, enjoy them while you have them. Love ya guys.
