icebox inspired this with his "Whispering at Vespers".  I hope he doesn't mind that this inferior work cites his poem.
Past Is

Past is a place we never were,
future a place we may never see,
and now balances
on the cusp of fate.

And love sometimes comes
too late.

you are right.
why
"And love sometimes comes
too late."? one may not realize in early life.

"future a place we may never see,"

~ Sad, but true.

"and now balances
on the cusp of fate."

~ Truly profound.

"And love sometimes comes
too late."

~ Better late than never!

I'm sure that our dear box of ice will be flattered that his poem inspired this lovely one!

Loving hug,
Linda

this measures the gaps and implements change
powerfully contains the highest prize of love...and knowing it....
