The past is a swirling haze
that wanders aimlessly in the mind
without foundation or future
lamenting in a  whirlpool of discontent

neither dead nor alive
it burns with invisible fire
consuming the present
stealing the future with mindless abandon

searching hopelessly for a time long past
for flowers no longer in bloom
for smiles long turned to ash
for sunshine in the gloomy mist

Take care not to be devoured by its spell
nor mesmerized by its siren song
for more than it was, you are and
more than you are, you could be.

dear Joyce...I have missed you too..
my duties here to an elderly mother and volunteer efforts at the church have consumed most of my time. this piece took more effort than usual. I beg forgiveness for my absence...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Beautifully written! I've missed you too, Peg. Only recently have I begun to embrace the past...finally realizing it is my essence...you always write with such eloquence! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Oh my ... if THIS is drivel (?) ... dish me up a BOOK full !

May love and light always shine upon you!

Dear Pegasus,

I missed reading your works! This is so pensive, and I can definitely relate to it. One of my favourites!
