The Past
THE PAST
The past etched in time's memory
engraved in my mind-scape
faces places
colours sounds smells moments
undercurrents of emotions
of feelings of images
of glimpses of joy of sorrow
of laughter of tears
of love of tenderness
of resolutions of doubts
of regrets of remorse of loneliness
of what had been or could have been
everything had evaporated like dreams
but all seems so dim now
neural debris
weakening dendrites
the past is but shadows
an illusion
a shadow-play
the essence was then --
most memories have vanished or faded at the present hour
the past what are its uses
what are its abuses
time measures all
swallows all
it takes no sides
neither a friend or foe
the past I was
the present I am
the future I don't know
