It’s this moment I feel
So perfect now, as a relief
Now here and so quickly, already gone
Together with all that’s past
And so belongs in the sack of my memories
So good there is a hole
Which lets a few now and then abscond
And so the weight lessens
Hands open allowing balloons vanish
Up into that place with the air
Who knows where.

Mm, nice, the sack of memories is usually something we want to clasp up and clasp onto, and here you let what perhaps are bad memories slip into air with release and not rancor.
Love this one, Dulce. I too am very glad there's a hole, and that we can forget; anything to lighten that load. The last two lines are killer.
nice...i like this...i like the releasing of memories through the hole...but also in your own surrender...letting them rise as balloons...
Lovely write, Dulce. Love the last two lines.
I love the whole image of the balloon. Once when I nurse in a nursing home setting we had the patients do a balloon release and actually got a few response from the people who found them! It was a happy event for the elderly who got notes or cards.
Maybe we release memories so that new ones can fit into the sack! Lovely write!
have to make room for new ones to bloom. So up they float, very nice verse.
Like the image "Royal Self", I placed my arms on myself (like hers) and felt something like a healing energy--hot--flow into me, much like a purging of stress. Oh well, I like the picture, needless to say!
You wrote this with a feeling of 'happy' (your word "relief") and I'm glad your memory-sack is filling from one end, and emptying from other.
...and fly upward like balloons, to "only God knows where". Probably that IS where, to God! After all, He can deal with any weight which is too heavy for us.
A good write.
I like.
Take care, Sweeter.
And yes...PEACE!
oh i love the hole that lets the few abscond... nice to read your words again!
Beautiful Dulce...I love how a few abscond to lighten the load and perhaps to make space for something new.
very lovely.
Beautiful metaphor. I like the emphasis of time in the words " in this moment", "Now here" in contrast with the "past" and the "memories". It definitely takes time for someone to be able to through useless memories on the hole.
I also have a poetry blog, I just started it, so I invite you to have a look. I would like to see your opinion =)
This is super sweet and remarkable verse.
your style rocks.
Simple ... and beautiful.
