I'll not spend my days in misty haze, in deepest gaze of Life's maze, perceived as daily stage plays, remembering old ways, anticipating new ways. Where to go next? What to do tomorrow? Why did I think life's road was all pink and rosy and clean? My days are a purple haze of discovering new ways. I graze on the past, feeding on old ways, savoring the new days. Nothing stays the same. And that is fine with me. For I seek only the Future, not the Past. When I look back at the Past I gasp. Time to exhale, slowly. Breathe in deeply, for the Future is here. The Past you cannot keep. And that is fine with me. To gaze in a daze as if surrounded by misty haze is not my style. I seek only the Future, and hope it finds me looking Forward, and not into the Past. |

Damn you Kacy, get out of my head. Did I mention I was glad you're back? |

Gabriel, thanks! It's never easy, is it? Lauren, my email server is acting funky, but will be upgraded this weekend, so I'll send you a private grr next week. Sigh, wow, thanks dear friend! Nancy, it's good to be back in here, where I belong. And I'm trying to keep my house clean.  |

You must be young at heart, Kacy... I find it so very hard to let go of things. I think my brain is like a cluttered attic, nothing ever leaves but new things keep getting put into it. ~ glad you are back with us hugsLyra |

perceived as daily stage plays, remembering old ways, anticipating new ways. Where to go next? What to do tomorrow? Yeah, but not in a good way. lol This read very differently to me tonight than the first time. |

Lyra, maybe more of your memories are worth holding onto? Thanks for the reply, and yes, I do feel young at heart. Duncan, it may affect you differently each time you read it because you are constantly changing, evolving.... |

Nothing does stay the same, life's growth feds solely on change. I wonder ... just how beautiful your northern light looks now in the western night sky ... ... looks brillant from here. |

Wow, I am humbled by that reply Craig!  I like what you said about change, it is so true. You should post it as a new, separate poem. (fix any typos first)  [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (08-27-2002 01:01 PM).] |
