Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

Hazy Memory

The past is
just 
    a wisp of
 smoke
     in the blue sky
     you won't 
be able 
to catch it 
as it flies by
But take the time
to remember 
  Take the time to leave
the present behind 
Dance through 
  the time - tunnel         
     and live in 
the past for a 
while
     The fog is thick 
but with a strong 
heart and 
     a powerful 
lighthouse on shore
  we'll make it 
through 
  despite the 
    waves 
which seem to 
be growing ever 
   larger
    We'll withstand 
the buffeting of 
    time 
Laugh once again 
at 
  the transitory, cosmic 
joke
   which encompasses 
    us all
