lagoon in my memories
fills dormant volcano crater;
nicaraguan vendors encircle
tourists as mountains surround
deep blue pocket of aquatic life.
lagoon of my memories
fills crevices of heart and mind;
as faces from childhood encircle
present experience, surrounding
deeply personal perspective on life.

I am reflecting back these lines with appreciation.

fills crevices of heart and mind;”

You remind me that each of us and the other 10,000 things are a unique convergence of atoms and experiences. I like how you used the prompt word.

I like the word convergence 🙂 Thank you, Lisa.

The lagoon as a metaphor for the reshaping pool of memories is very apt.

Ha, ha, i like the new word you coined, Ron 😀

I love the idea of a lagoon of memories, Lynn.
Jan 09, 2024 @ 17:10:13
It feels deep and full, Kim!

I love how you relate the idea of “deep waters” of memories “surrounding
deeply personal perspective on life” in terms of a lagoon. Lovely quadrille, Lynn.

I love how so many people wrote about memories rustled up by lagoon. A lagoon in a volcano crater in Nicaragua sounds like an amazing sight to see.

It was beautiful!
