Backwards From Lost Time
It's only when we have lost everything we hold dear that we realize how fortunate we were. Never toss an opportunity out the window. Never throw away a chance at redemption.
A diligent student unlike any other. All knowledge leans towards her, assembly together. Never lost, nor forgotten. She retains it all, but is downtrodden. Her gift of memory, however useful. Can never mask the pain, which is youthful. Shunned at all times, for just being witty. Does nothing pleasant, as it brings pity. When the Earth freezes and the snow falls, all these dark memories begin to call. Whilst this time of year is celebration for others, it's another battle for sanity that she suffers. So I leave you now to silently ponder, what this poem whispers and its silent wonders.
It's only when we have lost everything we hold dear that we realize how fortunate we were. Never toss an opportunity out the window. Never throw away a chance at redemption.
When you see that single lone figure in a sea of welcomed strangers, give pity. Ultimately, it is your generosity that fuels their will in continuing. Do not give your treasured compassion freely.
Before you decide, speak, think, act, wish, covet, coerce and react, see the truth hidden behind the dark unyielding veil of impulse. Everything has reason, sense and logic. All actions have motives.
A diligent student unlike any other. All knowledge leans towards her, assembly together. Never lost, nor forgotten. She retains it all, but is downtrodden. Her gift of memory, however useful.
For it is only in the flexible morphing and ever-changing world of literature that I can find my hard-won peace.
There are few things in life that deserve to be treasured. Yet, when one does find that single jewel within the fields of stones, that precious something sometimes just slips from your grasp..
