On Limestones

What remarkable limestones
We have in our memory!
Our buried paradise;
The need to re-examine, recollect, and reorder...
Why we don't bound from one
                              lily pad to the other more often

Appears as our fatal mystery.

Matt, I think it is because we are beings wrapped up in time so much so that we let it rule our lives. I enjoyed your poem very much. Blessings, Connie
