Light falls across a surface.
Shadows appear.
Leaves create patterns.
Images form.
The moment exists.
Later, the scene fades.
Details blur.
A mind holds fragments.
A shape remains.
Color shifts.
The event changes.
The day passes.
Routine repeats.
Action follows action.
Memory registers.
A brain stores impressions.
Time moves.
The past recedes.
Ordinary things become lost.
Only hints remain.
A feeling lingers.
Specifics escape.
Recognition occurs.
A source hides.
A mind constructs a story.
This story becomes memory.
Actual experience disappears.
A manufactured version stands.
Truth erodes.
