Re-minding Reminders

Don’t stray from the weight of the world.

Re-minding Reminders

By Tyler Lucas Mobley 

If sunshine be butter 

take me for bread. 

Life’s sweetest sentiments

fall conspicuous as ripe 

coconuts in Manhattan. 

All this momentum up a 

waterfall, never a thought 

to test the flow. 

Did you remember to re-mind?

Change the soil of your fertile

drum, realizing then how green

a thumb you’ve been sitting on.

Turning stones in a prized search

never mind the reward was in the 

act. Fork and knife powerless

over cerebral soup, spoon fed

re-minder for a taste of God. 

Ahh yes, limitless all along, for 

the water was always wine and 

fish delight the offer of your net. 

An old vinyl re-minded, suddenly

plays new grooves. With sultry

disguise the best thing that could

ever happen has a painful start. 

In the moment of re-minding the 

world behaves at the direction of 

your spark, lantern, candle, bonfire

with doubt stomped out resume 

wayfaring thought, existence holds 

another stone to sharpen our edge.
