Written for Stormy's prompt word contest
That un-forgetful day

Breathe in and then exhale
is all I hear them say
as I relive again
that un-forgetful day.
-
Drenched in perspiration
and trembling from inside
memories awaken
what I thought I could hide.
-
Motionless and twisted
in mind the even more
is what the storm had left
so scattered on the shore.
-
When we have heard it all
and no more can be said
time will go on playing
the noises in our head.
-
Breathe in and then exhale
is all that we can say
each time that we relive
that un-forgetful day.
