An invitation to one and all...travel down your memories and place your feet upon the path where words carry you to the past, present or future.
I have in mind a communal poem...where each of you adds some lines or a few stanzas. I know there are writers in our midst. I know there are expressive people herein. Don't be afraid to contribute! Poems are not necessarily strict mistresses of rhyme or meter! If you end a line with "orange" don't sweat it if you can't find the rhyme...just start the next line and you'll be fine! (Ack!) :D
I'd like this one to be about "Memories". Happy..sad..childhood...life...anger...love... the whole spectrum is fair game. Riff off the previous post or take a different turning. It'll be exciting to see where the paths lead!

Travel down your memories!
Memories tumble and turn
like an alleycat on the prowl
leaving pawprints in the refuse
as he twists his way into the unknown
Time's wheel turns in my head
but like the cat, it follows no straight path,
instead, it wanders crookedly amid the dust
and tatters of memory
My friend...a good friend
yet one I've never met
Shared so much laughter and warmth
and insane amounts of fun
I crave his presence still
and long for things that will never be
realizing, as I must, that memories
are all I have left...bittersweet yet
treasured..more valuable than gold.

Eight..I am...the house 150 or better
Doors and windows wide to night breezes
Sleeping deep on a hot summer's eve
A subtle sound wakes me
Turning my head
gaze drawn to the screendoor
I see movement and soft outlines
Sitting up in startlement
I capture a blur of motion
then stillness
Running to the door
face pressed to the screen
Colored lights a foot or two above the ground
are dancing away across the fields
Leaving me to wonder
am I awake, or was it just a dream?
This really happened to me...and to this day...I'm still not sure if it was real or a dream. It's too vividly etched in my mind..even 40 plus years later...for me to discount it as fantasy. Perhaps we are not alone after all! ;)

Actually that reminds me of one time in my childhood. At one time in the middle of the night, I woke up to see writing on the walls. Although the hieroglyphics were blurry to me, I was sure something was there. I wasn't sleeping either, I got up to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. I decided to question my parents the next day. I woke up early the next day only to see that the symbols disappeared.

The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

Ah there is a place to post this.
This minor story is still being edited, but I need to put this on computer before the paper goes in the garbage.
The trigger is pulled, the sun is rising.
and yet there are no track to guide him.
He lack motivation, he lack reason;
He can't find the logic to take his first step.
Close relatives seek for a change in his journey
as they pave his first hundred yards.
With his eyes pinned to his own feet,
He dares to step up.
With the cheers of those around him,
he is slightly encouraged to progress.
Finding oneself, taking a step one right after another.
Struggles and falls, perseverance meets the hundred yards.
New witnesses are present in this journey.
The path now branches into narrow dusty paths.
His eyes lifted from his feet, pondering the options ahead.
Is he ready for new blisters for his feet?
Observing, how some paths are short,
while others seemingly long
Paths that loops, twist or turn,
Yet few are destined to connect along the way.
The sun blooms just over the horizon behind.
As witnesses began to persuade him.
Must discern for peers who can lead of oblivious paths.
Yet the mature ones guide to the stretched paths.
With the persuasion of your relatives,
he dared to allow the matured to guide.
Trailing behind them through walls and pits.
When the dirt road faded, the guides halted.
Now the sun shines over his head.
He visualizes where the destination lie.
Blind eyes now glance into the horizon.
It is here where he will leave a trail.
It is here where others follow him.
He will continue to progress his journey,
forward and back until the sunsets.

By the way it's not a story of my life. It's a story of all ;)
I can't find a thread where we can post small quotes so I'll just post a few here.
-Got this first one from the user name FakeTruth.
"The best lies are hidden within truth."
"Keeping it rare is keeping its taste."
"Don't dwell on yesterday's failures.
Instead use the experiences to structure tomorrow."
"There's a child in all.
It's alright to release the veil occasionally."
"Smile! It looks good on you!"

Roses are red
Violets are blue

Had some English projects I had to get done. I came up with a few quotes I want to share with you.
"Never get goals done as a whole. Only get things done by the inch."
"When things tense up, don't spark or fuel the fire."
"One loses its own identity when they leeched the identity of another. Once this is done, their body becomes a statue of their idle, waiting to be pooped on by a bird."
"The only reason that is preventing robots from playing our music is because of something they'll never be, a human."
