Cogitation


 Foundation.


Depending on your age or  having a busy schedule, have you forgotten your younger years?


Title.

Cogitation


(A deep thought whispers)


Have you ever sat under the sun and looked back over your life's many old pages?


Remembering how you once ran, with whom and at what age?


Or have those old memories turned to dust?


All family and friends. Young and old love.


Moments of misery compounded by huge moments of victories.


People you once trusted now resigned to your own pages of history?


So, I'll ask again and use this as a prompt within this prose.


Have you ever paused under the hot sun?


Sat in the shade and looked back at old memories as they replayed?

 

Remembering happier times when you were having such fun?


The best ones, with maybe those, no longer around, as those incredible memories are eventually found?
