Remember not to forget

Reminding myself to remember not to forget

Doorways to nowhere and shopping un-lists

An image, a blur, a moving vignette

Not clear what has died, and what still exists

Remember the things that you have forgotten

Forget what I said and don’t be reminded

Old Master’s still nature, half fresh and half rotten

Poetic insights enlightening the blinded

My memories are old of youth and desire

Remind me of years still left, not over yet,    

Unmindful of caution, fly farther and higher

Remember to live before you forget.
