I see you watching me
as I apply my makeup
-some liner, a little lipstick
As I head for my eyebrows
I raise them quizzically
You smile and shake your head slightly
Ah! I see what this is!
-a captured moment
-one to savour
Note To Self:
Pause at these moments
hold them close
love them deeply
memorise them furiously
-before they slip into the past

It was already delightful, and easy to enter into – then the Note to Self shone with such wisdom, I wanted to hug you, dance, and yell, “Yes!”

Yes!! Each moment slips away, like silent ghosts. If only we could know, this is the moment, hold it close, keep it always.

This is very touching to me, Vivian. Not it might not last, many don’t. I like the method of transferring to this thought, “Note To Self.”

The message in your poem is strong and true, Viv, and I love your ‘not to self’!:
‘Pause at these moments
hold them close
love them deeply
memorise them furiously’.

Yes! Yes! I recently had a moment like this with my daughter behind me in the bathroom mirror. I will always, always remember it. Love, love your reflection here, Vivian. Beautiful! (Like you in the mirror.)
