**Thank you Stephen King for the title, although the words are mine alone.**
I have this checklist.
Even when I'm oblivious
to the tedious meticulousness
of my mind's response to the state of my soul
- The one I call self, ego, a name, a glimpse -
I am keeping a tally ...
Summing the results ...
Evaluating probabilities and differentiating the flow ...
Once riding on a tidal crest
that carried with it a paradox,
There was a creature who
would sing out of beauty.
- A fleeting hope for a permanent state of existence -
It would warn of sirens ...
Weep for a heart's misuse ...
Preach on elusiveness and praise the art of symmetry ...
Along an afternoon I saw a child.
Worlds abounding to bright new eyes,
he had found a rebirth
from the tragedy of predictability
- Darkest of foes it has ended many a mind I've known -
There was purity in his questions ...
Abandonment of fear in his energy ...
Free embraces for all and the sweetest known consciousness ...
After a sun setting in a cliff
I came upon an old woman weary.
Fables of magic that abet reality,
She filled me with stories of the world that was
- Time that I hold no proof of and swear by to none -
Lamenting decisions unchanged ...
Fading towards might-have-beens ...
Smiling over a series of moments and serious moments the same ...
I go through this list
As it helps convince me of a certainty.
For all three irrelevant,
All three not of a reliable sort,
Each these three creating hope and
without them I may not rest.
I look for these things in each of my days,
my nights will not quietly pass me by.
Beauty. Childlike wonder. History.
Love.
 
I really enjoyed reading this. It explores the past and the future, in your mind's eye. It also gives a glimpse of both. The most difficult state is the present. Yet, the present is the only state that almost lets you toss away that list.
This was very well written...I wouldn't expect anything less from you :)
 
Wow, I was just talking about living life fulfilling certain goals and having things happen to you, that you don't realize at the time, that help you to become a more complete person and make you who you are. (this morning) Amy you captured a lot of my thoughts but said it in a way I could never even try to. I miss ya!
 
Dagny, this reads like an unsigned letter. Very well done. :) Your tone shifts throughout the piece, but the movement of the language is fluid enough that each shift feels natural. This piece slithers. :) I'm impressed :)

Your mind is this completely amazing thing, that this forum would not be complete without.
Your words always make me think...
and this one was no different.
nice work, as usual :)
