living in the past, i dream of the future- void of a present reality -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 10-03-2000).] |

This says so much. I know I have a habit of that too, living in the past instead of looking at the now. A saying so true, if we stand with one foot in yesterday, and one in tomorrow, we're (peeing) all over today. <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

No place to be my friend. Care to fill it up with the sweetness of a cowboy's friendly heart of caring? So few words but oh so many things said and felt in this one. Hugs baby. |

This is true, the present is void if you are living in the past. But it can surely happen Great little poem Liz |

short and all too insightful, like that Ezra Pound one...i forget the title. something...Metro..."A station of the Metro"? i dunno, and i like that one a lot too... but that's also why i love this lovely concoction of your here. it is how so many of us live, myself included. i always tell people to live in the moment, and i believe the key is too be mindful of the future, but always keep focus and good judgement here in the present. i wish i listened to myself a little more. AWESOME. it's in my library. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who said,"I drank what?" |

SweetVicky~ Ahhhhh ! You've got the right formula ... Mix it up with the past and the dreams ... they're usually more fun than reality ! *Hugs* - my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
