To the past- Ah, the past. Afar the near and winding hour A kindred spirit thou art To Earth thy mother And man thy creature. Why must you prey upon a broken heart? Be you bird or beast, Who's wings hold no pleasantries? How then shall I heal? Would you leave me, then? Under foot and solid stone? You alter things with a different view. A dream, a phantom, you will remain, And shall you not repeat again!
