Remembering to Forget

Understanding is a series of sounds and images that change as they repeat themselves

Remembering to Forget

Jesus bids us shine with a clear, pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night;
In this world of darkness, we must learn to shine,
You in your small corner and I in mine.

Do you mind? he said,
as he climbed into her bed.
That all depends! she said,
as she opened up her head.

Their individual sounds become one sound
as each becomes the same.
A sound they won't remember
or forget again.

The Kingdoms of Heaven
are conditions of the flesh.
They don't exist on Earth
or in the Sky.

Forgetting to Remember

April was the kindest month

Jesus bids us shine then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness in this world are found,
Sin and want and sorrow; so we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.

Take one fresh and tender kiss.
Add one stolen night of bliss.
One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy.
Memories are made of this.

Their individual images become one image
as they each see the same.
An image that they won’t forget
or remember again.

The Kingdoms of Heaven
are conditions of the mind.
They don't exist on Earth
or in the Sky.
