gathering experiences

sometimes life is so busy

and there isn't enough time to do the things i'd like to do

like write about my life.

and the poets talks about a place of serenity

as the "where" to write poems,

that it is emotion recollected in tranquility. (wimsatt & beardsley)

and that one word: recollected.

right now i'm gathering experiences,

in all these busy days,

gathering images

and conversations

and lessons learned

so one day far away,

when life is tranquil

and perhaps i have white hair

i will write my life.
