Find me a past I can collate.
A past I can rate.
A past to relate to.
A past with a future.
Embraced with endurance.
Dancing on hot coals.

Embrace the past lessons.
Of times so not well spent.
Find lovers and children.
Face indiscretions.
Back to front.
Inside of out.

Battle scarred.
A fire inside.
A bath edge tide mark.
A simple remark.
A discipline.
A need to win

The discarding of ******* into a fire.
Into a furnace.
Grimacing.
Can't care less.
It's all a lie.
Know why.
Nor how.

A cow.
Stood by an Indian stream
Waiting for goodness supreme.
Protected.
It's coming around.
