The Annotated Life Poem by Samael Wolf

Experiences, milestones, all dutifully
recorded in our cerebral cortex
but does it record the little things?

Hugging a puppy, sitting under a tree
on a bright sunny day
do you remember these things

or did it all slip away?
In the greater scheme of life
the milestones have much lesser

importance than the little things
like simply enjoying what you have
and who you are, reveling in simple

contented bliss.
