History Repeated

HISTORY GROOK #1

History is an open book
We could easily turn the pages.
Perhaps our fear prevents a read
Of life throughout the ages?



HISTORY GROOK #2

History in flux;
The ebb and flow of life;
Lessons learned by none.


[For C.L. Thornton, the master of the grook.]

The fear of the past is all but in the mind, it's the turning of tomorrows blank pages, once turned, what will we find? >> James :)
