Less than Reality

The memory bulleted into my consciousness

with such clarity that I actually reached

for it, certain I could contain it in the palm

 

of my hand.  But the moment my skin

touched thought, it dissolved, evaporated

into all it really was, not what it nearly was,

 

and I was left with an emptiness,

a longing that only a reminiscence

that intense can elicit.

An exceptional ethereal offering of what it often is to catch a gimps of something that is real but is also no more. Well penned. J'nia

Good point, Dallas. I see what you mean. Changing it now. Thanks for your help. Carol

Carol, after the second line in the third stanza, the last line becomes redundant. If it were me (I know it's not), I'd eliminate the third line altogether. If you want to keep the three line stanza, break the second.
