Singing Forever in My Memories is true to its title because Mike's shared verses cover a lifetime of the visions and experiences of a literary artist. In fact, the title could have been called a Swinging collection of memories that dance across the page in rhythmic patterns & accompanying, lyrical harmonies. The words become his metaphorical pictures, images and feelings of happiness, comfort and our own uncertainty about the future when like him, " Who am I & why am I here?" lingers still in our memories. Mike's poems become an album of his life filled with the benchmarks of his journeys and challenges over sixty years. For example, when a piece of burning cigarette foil become his concern for our survival on Earth in 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis). Then a 1973 update of the same poem became a team exercise with Arts students in a classroom. Then with his Vignettes he captures snapshots of Nature's landscape, which then reappears in a Walt Whitman-styled poem, " Life's Journey is a River" detailing the colours, smells, sounds, tastes, and touches of our journeys on the river of time and finally reaching the Oasis.
