I wish that it were more purposeful,
this tendency of mine to forget, and that
the many trespasses fallen by the waysides,
were left there in earnest instead of
just blanked out- the backwards path too jagged,
too painful to step over.

If only signposts had been fabricated
to point the way and memorials carved
to chronicle lessons learned, and I could
remember distinctly passing on to
the next one.

In the extent of my forgetfulness
tender delicacies of mind and soul,
cross-filed against yesterday’s torments, are
equally as dim.

These gray haired days pass cursorily by,
but dread nags silently that there is
much lost inside this
lacking.

I think sometimes we need the buffer zone that forgetfulness provides... Now if only we could avoid the consequences! *S*

Beautiful work, my friend!

Like dreams flashing
in a brief show at dawn
I forget the fantasies
I thought were real

and leave room
for more
