Let Thoughts Roam About: Forgotten

Let Thoughts Roam About: Forgotten, 2010 V. Ortiz Vazquez Can you find what has not bee lost but just forgotten? Strolling away by the minutes, seconds Seconds away, yet very far A distance that cannot be touch, only observed Felt by the grieving Grieve without understanding Understand what has slipped away Just the sense of emptiness Reveals something is missing Can you miss what has not been but just dreamed? Dreams reveal the unconscious, wants, desires Perhaps even the past Past long gone, is it a memory or a nightmare? Nightmare, a young girl running away from gun fire, abused Awaken Awaken by the alarm she dismisses it as another nightmare; dream Dreams reveal the unconscious, wants, desires Can you want what is forgotten but hidden within your inner most? Open the mind, let thoughts roam about About the past, present, future Future marked by the present Present affected by the past Past hidden just residue lingers Lingers with a threat Threatening your upbringing, livelihood, present, future Future with or without what has not been lost, just forgotten
