My Memories
By Robyn Birchleaf (aka - Tommy Van Hook)
Written 9/8/94, 12:00

Memories of my past
Pull me on into the future
With wisp-like tendrils
Tugging urgently on my soul
Much like a small child
Seeking a parent's attentions

I have watched my history
From a tall and lonely perch
Atop my ever-present thoughts
While the fire of passion
Smoldered into embers
Victim to my own neglect

Rediscovering myself
Reassemble what I find
Broken, shattered parts
Using memories I have
To cement a future bond

I can never be the same again
What has happened changes me
The healing will continue
To challenge and change all
Familiar, yet unknown

I hold power in the thought
That despite all the changes
Nothing will truly be strange
Since one thing remains unchanged
...my memories
