Past and Present
poem by:
Cecilia Crasto
Written
on Jul 27, 2016
As I delve into the archives of my mind What do I seek what will I find Must I forever bring to the surface Things of the past that have no purpose Tomorrow the present will become the past So we seize the moment and will it to last Why do we ponder on that which has gone Not focus instead on a brand new morn Stories of our lives enhanced with the years Retold with passion evoking laughter and tears As we reach the ending the final encore A candle burns brightly on a distant shore I must channel my brain to think on the morrow Clear away cobwebs forget all the sorrow The mind can be turned in all directions Thoughts of the past should be happy reflections We are the product of what went before Our destiny shaped by so much more It's the nature of man to probe the past That's the way it is-the die is cast.

I love it, many people live in the past, It's something I think a lot of people do. Yesterday has gone and we cannot have it back, tomorrow is the future. Nice thoughts and nice writing.
