TEMPUS
--

mists of time envelope me
obscure the mountains of my memory
if I read the book that tells my history
will I recognize my past?

I am not eager to recall
I loved the climb, but dread the fall
if I endure to see it all
will I be free at last?

Love these lines
One will never know for sure
Without looking back there's no future I think

An encapsulating capsule of a pill, Constance... thoughts many of us have contemplated, I am sure. Nicely prestented.

this is delightful poetry
loved the clever rhyme scheme and its harmonies...
succinct in verbiage and verse...
yet depth of thought and imagery was achieved
well done poetess

In time youll feel strength when you call my name
I know Ill never hold you again
And I know Ill never be the same
