capturing a memory

Posted August 19th, 2008 by raskin

I captured a memory
in a butterfly net
watched it flutter
then became still
tenderly I pulled
it out, quietly
examining the color
shape, texture,
the beauty
of that memory
before finally
setting it free.

Beautiful

I was thinking how delicate a memory can be and setting it free without harm so the memory can come back to me. I hope that came through. I appreciate the comment. raskin
