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.

Thanks for telling me what you think! I like to hear how different people interpret my poems. Do you mind checking out a few of my other poems and telling me what you think?

Thank you very much!
WELCOME LUCY ~ Thanks for your first poem and thanks for penning a NEW POEM every day ~ they are all challenging ! My MANTRA is CARPE DIEM (Seize the DAY !) Yesterday's gone My friend ~ Tomorrow may never be mine ~ Help me today ~ show me the WAY ~ One step at a time ! So personally I don't worry about the PAST (It's over let it GO !) or the FUTURE (I'll cope when it comes !) ~ I LIVE FOR TODAY ! Thanks for sharing & caring ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Thanks for your elegant odes on my Fusions ~ I would love to add a POEM to yours ~ Please add me as a FRIEND ~ Thanks B.
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.
