Acts of Creativity

It is often said;  "Let go of the past".

Acts of Creativity

As long as you have a mind, you have a past
with memories good and bad to last
Memories that stir many feelings
Time that brings many healings
So many lessons learned,
from experiences adjourned
The past, present and future intertwined
It is all deep within your mind
Through days that are always changing
Plans that are rearranging
There is the constant of a creative act
Writing. music, dance and art in tact
All these acts of human creativity,
connect us all to sweet eternity

Such a lovely poem Heidi. Your poem is one that I am glad to have come across. I keep a memory box I make for each person in my extended family who has passed. In fact after reading your meaningful poem, I shall get one from my basement to open and peek through. That's a good thing for me.

Such a wonderful poem you have given us. Each of us becomes the product of what we have touched in the past. As we move forward, how we will end up is still unknown. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Heidi, I have forgiven my hurtful past. if I were to hang onto the hurtful pastI would be hurting every day. But the past is the past and the past is over. this is how I feel. Hugs. /Darlene\

Hello Heidi, It is not good to keep in the hurt feeling. You must let it go. Or you will be bitter. And that is not good either. Hugs \ Darlene/

We hold certain memories dear, but others require a healing process, and through it all there is the "constance of creativity", Very nicely penned Heidi...
