PART 1

To change the past
Is that so hard
All I want is to change the past
We look to the future
The future used to be today
Soon today will be the past
Close enough to touch with memory's fingertip
But not close enough
You can't change the past
Why not
What's past is past
Let's replay it
Can't do that son, that's not how it works.

PART 2

In search of the past
In search of a memory
An incident fading from thought
Some haunt from the past
A face reflected in moonlight
Truth and beauty in sparkling eyes
Life in a breath
The past is exhaled
Never to be regained
Never to be coaxed into reoccurring
No price is enough
No sale on the past
Yet some of us can't help
Walking backwards into newness.

" Goodbye Love "
Goodbye Love--the shadows climb the wall
--the door is closing
--now on to something more
And goodbye Love--a whisper down the hall
--the wind is all
--you still don't call
Maybe I'll drink too much
Try not to think too much
And lie awake each night
Until the dawn
Goodbye Love--we hardly ever flew
--but I'll remember
--at least forever
The time of love and you.

DB..I bow my head and say a prayer,your words here touch my shattered heart..too many wonder-filled words to point to. I love it.


Truly,
J

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

"Time is but the dream of life
Broken down into sections.
For each and all have their own time,
memories and relfections.
But NOW is all you can ever save,
there is no past, no future for certain.
So don't bury your dreams in Yesterday,
Or try to peek beyond tomorrow's curtain."


Reading your poem made me recall this verse. You're right, the past is just that, the past.
