Remaining Span
11/30/2020


at dusk I reflect on the hours past,
dwelling on my deeds of last,
not realizing that by such an act
I am wasting moments of present

for that, which has receded to annals,
no matter how much I may wisheth,
undo, recall, repent
forever, that cannot be erased

going forth if my actions be earnest,
no matter, the span remaining,
let me ever have to contemplate,
knowing, load be lessened.

    A needed and well crafted reminder that time spent reviewing the past never lets us enter the peace of the present. Good read my friend and thank you for sharing it.

    • Suresh

      You are too generous

    • orchidee

      A fine write Suresh.
      Is the title 'Remaking' or 'Remaining' or both?!

      • Suresh

        Thanks

        If time be on our hands at the fall of the day, as dusk arises from the land, pleasant thoughts of bygone pleasures can become a romantic muse. Enjoy those moments to their full i say when the perfect mood surrounds you. For if there were other needy tasks, why then, of course, it's those you'd be doing instead.mood

        Took me several reads too really enter into your piece today. That mention of dusk (my fav time of day in fair weather) straight away creates a romantic mood for me...... the land begins to darken and offer up concealment of all sorts of wonderful things.

          nothing like being reminded of one's own mortality in a well crafted poem .. gotta make sure we make every moment count ....

          • Suresh

            mortality, only a punctuation, to immortality of soul, and thus these words.
            and thanks for yours

              Those reflections on the past can be meaningful but the time can be wasted when each moment we are in is the more important as every moment we enter into is so special.
