An Impossible Fix

AN IMPOSSIBLE FIX

       I journey through the woodland
    Hazily I gaze at the shadows of an- 
                  intangible reality
    There I love roses and hate thorns
       Its a Journey to my yesterday
           In a region called mind.
  There I chose silence and hate noise
     I choose hard work and hate sleep
        I choose humility above pride
                  I leave no soul hurt
           I leave no bone fractured
         Carefully I make a great fix

        I journey through the woodland
           A journey from my yesterday
      Like an eagle on my today to perch
          Alas! No yesterday was fixed 
         Not even a choice was redone
  For it was just a fruit of imagination 
       Conceived in the womb of regret
 Inside the belly of vain contemplation
            So when you receive a day
   From the hand of Him who never err 
       Forget not every moment to pray 
    Remember good choices to make                     
      For even today will be yesterday- 
     and you can never fix yesterdays.

Time is continuous gist of life; nothing is present! next moment is becoming the past moment continuously; future to past and the present is not moment but it's the name of passing through! nice to read your poem; I'm inspired too

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God bless you.
