Poetry Thursday 82 - Depths

 In this era of self-reflection, meditation and mindfulness, I wonder if we actually accrue the mental equipment necessary to protect ourselves as we progress through life. 




Depths

 

Within the labyrinth of the human mind,

in a place no-one will ever find,

are history, trauma and reverie,

behind the dark door of memory.

 

Through the door is a tideless sea,

only accessible to you or me,

beneath the surface shallows and trenches,

into which our memory plunges.

 

There for our eternity,

sometimes raised for conscious scrutiny,

only to be shared to suitable audiences,

too rich for the unattached masses.

 

An ocean of actions and experiences,

not to be forgotten they are treasures,

but applied by us accordingly,

for self-repair knowingly.
