DM Babbit Poet Rhyme

Old Poems Resurface

Old Poems can resurface
  written long ago like love letters in a hidden book,
  you merely have to look.
I read a long forgotten one
  found its cadence mesmerizing
  could that have been my "Beginning"?
The lay out and the form
 its very appearance yellowed and tattered
 hold meanings that still matter
Though time has passed
 I find my writings familiar and meaningful today
 while sad to say some were trashed and tossed away
Because  time seems to change us.
 thoughts  unraveling as we write
 forgiving, forgiven, forgotten in the throws of night.
Old poems,
  return and live to be resurrected better than before
  changed, altered by time, life and circumstances explored.
The old poems,
   still live,  they are well and alive,
   like the poets who write them, they survive.

Daniel Turner September 8, 2016 at 4:10 PM I really love this one DM. I have thought about it for a long time. After I'm long gone my poems will still be floating around somewhere. That's a pretty cool thing if you ask me.
