in reverie
memories drift from
the attic of my brain
and I revisit
the many actors
in the drama
of my life ...
some are extras
entering stage left
exiting stage right
some have leading roles ...
I gather their faces
in my mind yet again
memories drift from
the attic of my brain

the many actors

Digital art is my own.
LOVE your digital art and the extended metaphor of your life as a drama....using the acting terminology. "gathering their faces in my mind yet again." I like this idea...that we can be comforted by gathering faces from the past. That to me is the horrible loss for the person with dementia...the inability to focus on those faces again.
ReplyDeleteSo very glad you posted to the prompt.
All those memories keep bringing them back to the stage in one's mind,
ReplyDeleteI gather their faces
ReplyDeletein my mind yet again
One will always remember friends. Does not matter good or bad friends for they give life to our sheltered being!

I like this take on the prompt. Well written.
ReplyDelete"the many actors / in the drama / of my life ..." Send in the clowns... there ought to be clowns....
ReplyDeleteMuch truth in your forty-four!
Made me think of life as a play, with people entering and exiting~ But always sad when memories drift and fade away ~
ReplyDeleteI love the image, Bev, and an echo of Shakespeare's 'All the world's a stage' speech from As You Like It - on his birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love the phrase 'the attic of my brain'.
Bringing the bit players to mind is a good exercise.We shouldn't leave them out of it. What would the play be without them?
ReplyDeleteI love your stage! Any more characters to add?
ReplyDeleteThe memory of life... I was thinking of the same gathering, and we always have them left.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of some advice the Dalai Lama gave about making sure you live a good, present life, waiting until the dusk of life to look back on all your memories, not before, and let them entertain you into reverie!
ReplyDeleteI love the digital image you created and the stage metaphors in your poem - beautifully penned :o) xxx
