The mind does not forget, that which is limned
Can never be obliterated quite
But lives securely, though it's life is dimmed
Behind the fretted jewelry of light.
The mind does not forget; each mood or thought
Is bound together in an endless chain,
Is inextricably compressed and caught
Within the cellular sequence of the brain…

The mind does not forget. Though it be thrust
Into the blind an anonymity of dust,
The mind remembers still. It's memories live
In forms forever sifting through the sieve
Of water, earth, and air, becoming one
With memories inviolate of the sun!
