Reminiscence

I was lost into the vast sea of memories only to return with chest heaving My fingers rasped the molten emotions welling deep within, brimful in my eyes Those images as though carved in water in which flowing time rippled my consciousness but they all came up to me, cascading My being’s emptiness filled up with moments The decisions that shaped my experience were not at all perfect, there were mistakes Who says that life is not a gamble we risk, when time is one and only road we can’t retrace Wisdom is the offspring of our erroneous judgment and so it’s not about the faults and slips but regrets that breed and cage the snake within our selves a venomous serpent that bites in threat
