Forgetting

An evocative inward-looking poem, of despair and hope, by Amita, exclusively for Different Truths.

I seemed to forget the sound of my voice
I read aloud just to hear me.
I seemed to forget the light of the heart
I washed it with tears, and cleansed each part.
I seemed to forget the glisten of the dew
I sprinkled the plants with a drops few.
I seemed to forget the shades of the sea
I painted all hues in every texture and degree.
I seemed to recall words very wise,
Shrug off and let go, reinvent, and rise.
