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.
