Memory’s benefit 10/25/15

All I want from memory

is something new, maybe some novelty of the mind

and that memory is substantially what

I have never seen or experienced before.

All I want from memory

is that I have never looked at this in that way before.

All I want from memory

is the feeling of vast  

and that that evokes a need

to find from within that vastness.

The only recognition wanted is that this is new,

never fully explored before

and deeply captivating of itself to be discovered.

Compelled into the unidentified

from this benefit of memory.

That I remember the expanse

and that what I find only feeds my memory’s need

for more as in a nostalgia for the unfamiliar,

the unidentified, that which is greater than the whole.

I want to remember the unknown.

I want to recall what thirst for the unknowable

feeds on me from within.

That I can recollect where I have not been

and that I keep in mind the need from that void

and reminisce about this as a oneness,

that needs no memory

as its means of constantly being there . . .

I do remember the memorable unknown

and the unforgettable but perplexing incomprehensible.

And as a benefit of memory,

I want to get back to there…
