UNTOLD STORY

I wish the story could be told ­
That the finish were in sight
­I wonder if the ending
Will turn out wrong or right?

I don't know how it started
Not sure, what happened between ­
Did I hear those things I've heard?
See all those things I've seen?

There's dreams from dark of night ­
Those dreamt by light of day ­
Times I knew where I'd been ­
Those times I lost my way.

The miles I have traveled
Don't seem that far behind
­The time wasted searching
For things I didn't find.

There are people I have known ­
All those I'll never meet
Moments I'll never forget
Memories, good and bittersweet.

The feelings deep inside ­
The ones that I've let out
­The questions, unknown answers
Of what my life's about.

They're all part of the story
Of things I learned were true
But the story isn't done
And there's so much left to do.

excellent 'write!'

I am particularly fond of the ending lines:

"...Moments I'll never forget
Memories, good and bittersweet.

The feelings deep inside ­
The ones that I've let out
­The questions, unknown answers
Of what my life's about.

They're all part of the story
Of things I learned were true
But the story isn't done
And there's so much left to do(!)"

much applause!!

I love your consciousness of how precious time is and what we do with it.

Very good piece.

Love,

And thus is the story of life;

sealed in lovely words.
