If I were able to remember, I might rather not
continue to glorify living by a rope’s single knot.
~
For every afternoon I soak in a wistful memory,
I’ll easily pass on the fear of societal misery
~
While around me the world continues to age
I wonder what’s it is like to finally be that sage.
~
Because last time I thought about prior years
there came to mind an epiphany of fears
~
today, I look behind my walls to understand time
while the world moves forward, I live a life sublime.
~
I wish a memory might energize your state of mind
in the manner we used to think about, how we remind
~
ourselves that each living hour, each moment, second
chance we choose to pursue, becomes an amend
~
again, a reminder of our lives in the days before
suggest we give solace to knowing there is more.
