In a moment of thought
as time just slips away
the past and present fought
as senses start to play

From the closet of mind
stored within darkend folds
beyond curtains we find
that which our fear still holds

Our memories tempted
lost in shadows of grey
the future preempted
thoughts just floating away

In a release of rain
as if clouds were weeping
not able to sustain
tears were only sleeping

(big hugggssssss) So sad but well-written, sweet friend, I too always struggle between the past and the present, for so much sorrow and abuse dwells in my past and I have matured from my past to try and understand myself to love and find joy! (sigh) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sometimes the tears have to come out…kind of like a cleansing rain…so we can go beyond and find new happiness…new memories. Awesome reflective write Craig.
