The Subconscious File

Deeply embedded as cherished
treasures those synaptic snapshots
your brain thoughtfully stored in
memory will be recalled increasingly
as age proceeds as it must and time
closes its promise for the future.
What has been is forever gone and
cannot be repeated, yet those briefest
of deeply embedded treasures imbued
with emotion minutely envisioned
with the  haunting intimacy of just
having occurred are truly distant in
time, momentarily recovered then
instantly returned to that file folder
that memory compassionately brings
to the fore as a reminder that our
lives are complex and unrecoverable
we exist and we roam the pathways
of opportunity and circumstance and
when we are bound tightly with vibrant
ribbons of bright-coloured emotions
entwined with love burrowed deep
within our souls its echo vibrates.
