There And Back Again By: Noah Eaton 2/22/01 Staring beyond the construction of the future is futile The sphere of universality revolves all around you, eternity’s cycles overlapping All that’s avail fluctuates upon you, and you ebb back upon the truth Can you see? Gadabout we are, walking forward into the jaws of flying colors Avaunt from the darkness that stung the wing of destiny’s owl in your soul Incarnating one’s learning soul beneath, wisdom obtained from ones own teaching All obliged to know' Stumbling upon the treadmill of time, averring to what fate may bring Innocence in time stained in graffiti of all our loose-ends and lies Waiting to try to find your three feet of personal space, learn from your mistakes Which later comes to show Escaping to ones personal fantasy, homeward bound to our dreams Living love and freedom to its extent, outside of schedules, laws, and agenda The pain in slipping away back into reality, without love in our arms Making an effort again to knock the walls between down Growing older, some would say wiser, eyes of familiar youth flashback again Mummified in self-appointed axioms, going back and revising through phases of time The magic of a memory the lighting effects to a fulfilled state of mind Do you know? Easy come…easy go… Couldn’t tell…should have known You may say you’ll look back on all of this and laugh You may say you wish you could have changed your past We’ve been there and we’ve done that Eyes see faith, doubts even out Entering that we promise, exiting that we refute Feeling we're closing in, feeling you're opening yourself out We march through time, in we ascend the future, out we descend to the past We all go there…and back again |

Mistletoe Angel, I've gone by this several times, then stopped and read it several times. I liked the poem, but have lost track of how many times I had to go to the dictionary to look up word meanings. My old brain didn't grow with age, but I did learn a few things. Thanks for the lessons. ME |

This is deep reading, because is suming up the cycle of life,the questions we ask ourselves in the process, the mistakes,etc. If only our humanity would be more simple. I enjoyed it, read it twice, like I said it was challenge and well written. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

Very thought provoking writing, Angel. You know, I would never change the past even if I could because those lessons have made me who I am today. Had I not gone through all that, I'd be someone totally different. great writing.  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
