Illuminated Mind

FredPeyer

we are assaulted by

the noise of the past

by the time we hear

the slow-moving sound

it is too late to change

we are trapped in the net

of lost opportunities

asleep among the pillars

monuments of defeat   

until we awake to

the speed of light

showing us the present

tiny glimpses of the future

we must close our ears

welcome the light

indulge in the sweetness

of our illuminated mind

    Each new moment in our lives will show us the way to the future by using our experience from the past.

      Thanks Andy, we can use the experience from your past as long as we don't make the same mistake. You know what they call a guy with two black eyes? A slow learner!

      Whoosh! I never saw ya there, going at the speed of light. 186,000 miles per second. Hmm, that's quite fast I reckon! lol.

            Mahalo L.B., you are too kind. I think if I wouldn't be sunburned, I would blush!
