Looking Forward To a Past
to live a life honoured
is in a rear-view mirror
a post-mortem
a dissection of a dead life
a life past
but to live a life daily
to grasp every gasp
and to hold it
to hold it in
to savour the flavour
of living a purpose
daily
gaily
going about our business
as the sand slips
through the neck
nothing to grip
irrecoverable
\it’s gone
like a deer in the headlights
- a glimmer of emerald eyes
as it fleetingly flees
and disappears
like an idea
yet we look forward
not back
in hope,
not lack
