The Past

deepthoughts

The past, and the past, and the past it was

It slinks away at the break of the day,

To never again be seen; farewell past.

And welcome forthcoming future alas

That leads to inevitable downfall

Depart, withdraw, take leave oh grim reaper!

 

The past is fantasized, mind devoid of bliss

Life is but a short-lived stage performance

The finale arrives, the curtains closing too soon

And then is heeded no more, for it is gone

It all slinks away at the break of day

Farewell past

And welcome forthcoming future alas.

        Here's the reason I'm able to post a poem everyday; I get into there 'moods' where I just want to write, write, write. So I write several poems and save them. Since I can only publish one a day, I just slowly publish the poems I've written. I'm glad you like the piece I added to your fusion! Like it says on my profile, I accept any and all friendships, you are my friend now! Thanks for your interpretation on my work, always interesting to see how different people take it.
