Mind Images

Here's an old poem of mine that ties in with my Memory is Odd post. I found it in a 2001 notebook, where it says, "I found this on the bookshelf when I was cleaning. It's from 6-30-99.
Lost and found, forgotten and remembered.


Mind Images

At odd times in the day, an image flashes in my brain:
A crossroad, a juniper tree, a winding distant train,
A grassy hill, a clear blue sky, a child singing in the rain.

Places unrelated, remembered or forgotten, not connected to event,
Peterson's Rock Garden, toll booth on a bridge, dawn in a yellow tent,
A willow tree, a path along the shoreline, a gift that someone sent.

Sweeping clouds of images wisping through my mind,
Trailing scene after scene of every different kind.
A moment from my past, a place in space and time.

A pleasant enough sensation that brings an little smile.
Is there some hidden meaning or just a leaking inner file?
Or is Spirit scanning to remember this incarnation's style?



The note with the poem says that these mind images came more commonly when I was working at Cox Cable in Customer Service, where I was "stressed to the max all the time. Maybe it was a calming measure my brain was giving me."
