Floral Past

At dawn beyond my restless sleep, With mental arms in memory, I strain to pick them, sort them, rearrange Replace the few, that turned to weeds Rewind, review, and make them new Old promises and rendezvous I keep ~ While dew drops formed too many years Have stained and dried away The floral past is but a dream Of how I cling to yesterday ~ Only to wake, I will face the day With the same dried pattern The same old way In retrospect, I do reflect But with a fresh bouquet

This is a lofty write, and I feel the moment of poem, bridging things that is hard for many to grip with, seeking consolation each new page of time, finding in each day's time a constancy similar to yesterday and knowing we should celebrate that order, despite, because we have a life. Sorry to project os much, but we project is what is invoked in us ... and only a good poem does that. Love.

Carrie, I am sensing something sad here. Maybe I am wrong, not sure, though your words are beautiful as ever. Some memory from your past, maybe it is just the time factor, and how fleeting it is. Sigh. That alone makes me sad. Love, Shar
