Inside the shadow's shadow

Ok...I don't know what went on with this poem...One minute I was writing in a depressed state and the next I was cheerful and optimistic. I guess that's just what moving the pen across the paper does!

Just remember not to breathe
Remember not to go that far.
Remember not to love
And remember not to hate.

Remember not what the past has brought;
But remember the future ahead
Remember not the exploding love
But the soft wind that brought you back up

Remember not your soul's desires
But the secrets it holds inside
Remember the times of quiet serenity
And the carefree days you still hide

Remember not the world's people
Or the actions they carry out.
Remember them for their soul
And their mind, when you're in doubt.

Remember tomorrow's hopes
And not tomorrow's dues.
Remember the stars of tonight
And not yesterday's sorrowful hues.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

lol thank you Albert. You're so sweet and kind. I think it is I, though, that is becoming a fan of you!

passing shadows: Yeah, it's like that. I don't particularly like it...It can make for a nonsense poem...But the flipside is that it can also make it intriguing...Just a thought
