A noise piercing the silence.
A thought breaking the daze.
A person of justice stopping the violence.
A clear scene coming through the haze.

Live the scene of joy before you.
Live through the times that are tough.
Laugh at the funny joke on cue.
Laugh with the voice that is rough.

Remember the time you went down the slide.
Keep the memory pinned to a board.
Remember your memories are like a tide.
Keep turning and tangling like a cord.


Feel the nerves rush to bring the word.
Can you fight the forgetfulness with all your might?
Feel the urge of thoughts waiting to be heard.
Can you hear my words and see the sight?

The last stanza should have a pause before reading it and i did actually mean to have a change in beat of the poem.
