I see more clearly Than once I could Understand more Than once I did Going away sometimes Puts things into Perspective And should you delve Into the sparse And uncreative journals Of my soul, fret not At what you see unwritten, For sometimes what is Foremost and of utmost Importance is in the white Space of what is omitted. The past is the past. Let us not retrace our Steps. Going back Is never an option,lest We lose the richness And education of our Experience. Let us remember What not to do Next time. Forgiveness is greatest When it is hardest... But it is not our place To judge, and so dropping The weight of a grudge Is akin to dropping Boulders from our backs. I will offer my hand In friendship. Let us begin with words, For in silence, Much is lost, and there Remain too many precious Moments: Many tales untold, Many songs unsung, many Expressions of emotions Stifled and wonders Of the world unlearned. Let us not omit. |

I liked this very much. It had such a wise aroma about it and a morality that made me keep on. Though it was long, it was very good. More of these please.  +| ... Ocelot ... |+ |

I enjoyed the whole poem. These lines hold so much truth. "The past is the past. Let us not retrace our Steps. Going back Is never an option,lest We lose the richness And education of our Experience." "Forgiveness is greatest When it is hardest... But it is not our place To judge, and so dropping The weight of a grudge Is akin to dropping Boulders from our backs" [This message has been edited by inot2B (01-07-2002 10:16 PM).] |

You are very correct there. It isn't always all about what we do, it's about what we do not do. And as we mature we may notice this, and come to be better and more productive people to our sociey. Outstanding write, I loved it a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |
