Mike Gentile Poet Free verse

Living In the Past

Living in the past
 is it familiar
 is it sweet
 it depends on the memories you meet

 Living in the past
 is it safe
 is it smart
 it depends on the courage that’s in your heart

 Living in the past
 is it life
 is it real
 it depends on the happiness you can steal

Darlene De Beaulieu October 3, 2017 at 7:38 AM I know longer live in the past. It is not worth it for mew. It is painful. The past is gone ....I live for the now. Although some ofit was happy. Have a nice day my friend. Mike Gentile October 3, 2017 at 9:30 AM Thanks Darlene, that is probably very wise!

Susan Ashley October 1, 2017 at 5:54 PM I think that; Living in the past is a lot scarier than taking control of life and living in the present... but that's just my take :) A great thought-provoking write Mike with a great flow and message. Enjoyed! :) Mike Gentile October 1, 2017 at 6:02 PM Thanks so much Susan
