PART 1 To change the past Is that so hard All I want is to change the past We look to the future The future used to be today Soon today will be the past Close enough to touch with memory's fingertip But not close enough You can't change the past Why not What's past is past Let's replay it Can't do that son, that's not how it works. PART 2 In search of the past In search of a memory An incident fading from thought Some haunt from the past A face reflected in moonlight Truth and beauty in sparkling eyes Life in a breath The past is exhaled Never to be regained Never to be coaxed into reoccurring No price is enough No sale on the past Yet some of us can't help Walking backwards into newness. DB ------------------ " Goodbye Love " Goodbye Love--the shadows climb the wall --the door is closing --now on to something more And goodbye Love--a whisper down the hall --the wind is all --you still don't call Maybe I'll drink too much Try not to think too much And lie awake each night Until the dawn Goodbye Love--we hardly ever flew --but I'll remember --at least forever The time of love and you. ====The Manhattan Transfer==== |

DB..I bow my head and say a prayer,your words here touch my shattered heart..too many wonder-filled words to point to. I love it. Truly, J ------------------ Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

"Time is but the dream of life Broken down into sections. For each and all have their own time, memories and relfections. But NOW is all you can ever save, there is no past, no future for certain. So don't bury your dreams in Yesterday, Or try to peek beyond tomorrow's curtain." Reading your poem made me recall this verse. You're right, the past is just that, the past. Michael |
