Hi All
This is a first draft of a poem I wrote a few days ago. I don't know what triggered it really but I enjoyed where it brought me...I think it needs work but I'm just posting this for now. I hope you enjoy it.

TRYING TO REMEMBER
Trying to remember past thoughts and dreams
seeing beyond other realms to dive into the great beyond to get a glimpse of what I have come here to forget yet we all die trying to remember.
What I seek is seeking me...or so I'm told...am I too close to even see?...from the shadows of my mind...I reach out as if I'm blind...but perhaps that is the way.
Too busy looking outwards...comparing other paths...but it's not an outer journey but one that can only travel inwards...it is your own path...carved from thoughts and dreams...memories and feelings... stretching out across decades, perhaps lifetimes and even beyond...
yet still here I stand...peering into the vastness hoping to catch a fleeting glimpse of what lies ahead...or beyond...and there are moments when I can feel I'm so close to understanding it all...only to realise I know even less than before...and the question still remains...WHY?
Why am I here trying so hard to remember what I've come here to forget...am I waisting my time? Do I just move on with my life...then why do I feel so much of me being here is trying to remember that which I'm supposed to forget.
If only I could remember what I've tried so hard to forget...then I could start over anew...but maybe that's it...maybe it's not the remembering bit at all...but the forgetting that's important.
Perhaps it's because I keep remembering that I must keep forgetting...maybe I've remembered millions of times but I have to keep forgetting...perhaps that's it....and perhaps it's not...who knows? and so the spiral continues...on and on and on and on and on and on and on......
