Confession
Moments stolen from past events--
occurrences, traumas, achievements, losses.
Echoes from times that no longer exist.
Baggage that I no longer wish to carry.
Cherished moments that I can never really let go.
Emotions and feelings,
joy and laughter,
Pain and sorrows of yesterdays.
Rearview mirrors as I watch time slip by.
Kodak moments that tell a story,
slide by slide.
The wonderful smells and tastes!
Innocent kisses, virginal caresses,
that euphoric moment of knowing!
Hindsight always brings clarity.
Knowledge leads to enlightenment.
Experience makes one seasoned.
The moment that life is made manifest! The sorrow
of watching it lose its luster.
Taking blind leaps of faith into the unknown.
Conviction beyond doubt, in lost dreams and aspirations.
Finally understanding
you were never destined to know the whys.
It was all beyond comprehension, my inability
to foresee the future. Now I must embrace
what once was, as I cope with impressions of the past reflections.
Remember when? How could I forget!
That time when we were about to and so and so said?
Those were the good ole days! I wish
I could have been there.
I wish I had never witnessed it.
If I could do it all over again,
I would not change a thing.
forgive me.
