Notes About The Poem

We Do Not Fit In

Old photographs dug up, memories ancient It is akin to a past life being resurrected Amidst voices excited, we are patient We live in the now, thoughts deselected Really seeing no cause to rekindle the past Art of living in the here and now, well perfected Earth life plays out as is ordained, the die is cast Prior soul agreements determine experience Why be aghast, for this dream won’t last Devoid of desire, pristine our innocence As a rebel and a nerd, we follow not the herd Remaining ever blissful in our self-luminescence It’s no longer necessary for us to get in the last word Ensconced in bliss, each in-form node is stirred 22-March-2022

Isn’t it interesting how the past affects us but we go forward in a new direction. As we get older this surely must be true: It’s no longer necessary for us to get in the last word. We also give way for the new generation.
