Old Poems Resurface

Old Poems can resurface written long ago like love letters in a hidden book, you merely have to look. I read a long forgotten one found its cadence mesmerizing could that have been my "Beginning"? The lay out and the form its very appearance yellowed and tattered hold meanings that still matter Though time has passed I find my writings familiar and meaningful today while sad to say some were trashed and tossed away Because time seems to change us. thoughts unraveling as we write forgiving, forgiven, forgotten in the throws of night. Old poems, return and live to be resurrected better than before changed, altered by time, life and circumstances explored. The old poems, still live, they are well and alive, like the poets who write them, they survive.

I really love this one DM. I have thought about it for a long time. After I'm long gone my poems will still be floating around somewhere. That's a pretty cool thing if you ask me.
