My Book

before you are the pages
blank and to be filled by you and the world
the present. is where you are now
as in typing this page
the past is a book that is closed
on it's way to The End

i do not know?

The past is closed on it's way to the end. Endings are the new beginnings to begin again. God Bless Phyl

John iii, I love old books... not particularly to read, but to look at and to hold. Old, with pages loose and gold on the edges of their pages. This is an interesting write, which brought about the thoughts thus shared. Lovingly, Dane

I like how the 'you' from above can be both the subject and the reader. The reader (or anyone who isn't the writer...)can write in this book too as long as they get your permission to impact your life to the point where the experience of knowing them finds its way into the blank pages that haven't affected you yet. Thanks for sharing jhl. (None of you understand, I'm not locked in here with all of you...you're all locked in here with me:)
