Retrospect

Lifepoems

So long ago I vowed that
These were my last writes
And then life happened
It was so long ago
And yet so recent
So painful
And yet
So far away now
It is hard now to conceptualize
Who and where I was then
And reconcile it with the now
I am so connected to the past emotionally
And so separated from it temporally
That I can’t remember where the pain and bleeding ended
And the healing began
So I will continue along
Back on course
On the curvilinear deviation
From my planned trajectory
Spiraling out of control in three dimensions
In a relative sense
These days I find myself
Longing for the comforts of the past
With the benefits of knowledge gained over time
And I realize that
It is a fantasy
I want to be younger again
I want to correct those mistakes
But time has passed
And all that is left is regret.
Perhaps if there is a God
My arrogance might be forgiven
But it does not diminish my pain
Or heal those I have hurt
Welcome to the new revolution.

Damn. This is unbelievably impeccable! So poetically
emotional, with a potency that completely awakens
the spirit. Inward restoration is a tricky task. So much
of what you wrote here touches an intrinsic part of the
soul. And somehow it is comforting to read from the
heart of someone else. Thank you for sharing this.
Exquisite writing. -- Achelois |
