That which once was and can no longer be, a vision once seen you can no longer see. When described as a thought, a memory, or a seed or seedling if you are a tree. The beginning of something the world now calls me!

Well, at least you transitioned into a very funny and readable poet! That's good for the rest of us. The part for you is something you get to work on as do we all for ourselves! This is a very amusing and easy to follow (my favorite kind) poem! Much appreciated.

Ah its like a brilliant and intriguing write if not for the title i would definitely be intrigued to know what it is, although your descriptions are spot on especially “ When described as a thought, a memory, or a seed or seedling if you are a tree.“ creative way of describing what past is! I love that! And i think we surely do need to let go of past make peace with what was to move forward. Wise words as always dear bill. Well said! This a great reminder for us all
