set adrift of memory bliss

set adrift on memory bliss of you...      PM Dawn. lyrical genuises...inspired me...

what should be set adrift
a blissful memory
a hearts whisper
finger trembles
eyes glisten
holding breathe
shaking

let it go
let it drift
bliss

enchanted, captured
a moment in time
a new beginning
or sorrowful end
of time lost forever
fight to gain perspective

subterranean by design
layers upon layers
depths unmeasured
protected by a fiery sword

"Jar of Hearts"

I'd like to share song lyrics from a song by Christina Perri. Its called "Jar of Hearts."

These lyrics pull me back to the summer after high school. It captures what I had with him then. constant contact & then drift apart.  makes me smile to think he once told me we were 'soul mates.' 'no matter what.' never Good enough for each other from either of our eyes. everything seemed so intense back then. A smile crosses my face.

its all you truly have to live for. Its before you move away for college, before the big 'career' seeking days. Living every day like its your last chance.
 
what do you do when you know 'he' was right? you live life knowing someone cared about you that much. completely. and pulled insane stunts just to see each other only for a few short minutes. the air left the room around him. it was an amazing chapter in my life.

Why tell the story? Because its a way for me to describe and share where a song takes a person. When you let yourself allow the lyrics to sink in, to resonate. Where do you find yourself? What moment is it?

Is it the most painful moment forever seared in our skin? Is it the butterflies that come fluttering back as you think of the first kiss? The way you remember "him," how he'd do certain things only for you. Singing you his favorite song after he taught you how to drive his car.........


I listen to music all the time. For me I have found it helps me capture memories. Helps them stick. I love that about music and how our mind works.

Finally - to the song lyrics if you haven't already been there 



    

 through the looking glass of time & space what reveals itself?
another version of myself...one who split off to explore the other option
where the crossroads of life challenge us to choose
in the other timelines is she happier?
is she not as strong? 
my imagination spins the story lines
an elaborate web woven of all the possibilities
all the past lives, the knowledge & experiences
so close to draw from
only need to crossover to the proper thread
which will carry you to the plain...
where what you require is in a gentle slumber
awaken it and assimilate
gain knowledge while letting go
the impenetrable walls no longer needed.
the battle waged shown a worthy warrior victorious
the terrifying cliff edge each must step off
requires a relinquishment of all fears
embracing trust in self
taking the blind leap of faith...
stepping forward, braced for the free fall
who knows who we are until we're faced with a challenger
