The swirling nebulous Breathes on its own Filling each void A muddled mess of memories Swim with thoughts and emotion A polluted lagoon of a life The mind's eye clouded By infinitesimal particulates Each holding a moment of life Each holding a piece of the puzzle of a person Each begging to be noticed The screaming silence Renders a mind useless Still, the heart will hold what the mind releases The mind will hold what the heart releases Should the cloud dissipate Should there be room to think What would happen to the pieces Forgotten at will Erased by need Each tiny piece soldered into a whole Or left to float on its own Can it really be forgotten Each particle is particular and matter matters
