Our Past,Is Our Future....

Today appears,then disappears
faded light absorbed in mirrors
reflected shades of moments cast
what we really face,is our past

If todays problem,
are yesterdays solution....
decisions furthered in collusion,
how then,do we redirect thought
reassemble lessons taught....

In our past,we find our future
effect to cause another suture
simple bandaid only covers
festered sore that worsens over

Real healing is whats needed
broken spirits souless sleepin'
comatose in illness walking
unaware of pathway gawking

Futures glory hard to know
what we learn as we grow
can keep us in a whirlpool spinning
only innocent,in the beginning......
