I couldn't move: no sounds from cries Deep rooted fear froze me on the spot My life flashed right before my eyes I'd remembered everything I'd forgot
How is it that our brains take in every tiny detail Sights, smells, emotion, time, language, people, sounds Then it's all "forgot" in the blink of an eye Stored in the library of the soul All memories and traces of living, young to old
Do you remember the present on your 1st birthday? The 2nd right decision you ever made? Do you recall the 3rd picturesque scene that took your breathe away? The 4th time you made love that was great?
Why do we have these distant memories and why do they fade? Why does it take something to jog them back into play? Do I learn, forget and grow? Does my past have no real purpose with things I don't need to now know?
Can my brain simply not cope With all the daily infinite info? Will I explode or will I implode? Where's the connection so I can download my being? Will I be able, one day, to upload a new me living? Select my daily options and scan for virus's Protect a future me from an evil nemesis
Am I simply observing for a future event I know nothing about? So I can relive my joys, fears and doubt What if I don't make it that far ahead Will these things be shown when I'm dead?
