oddments of a life lived



there are fragments lingering
of my past
   bits and dregs
        the wreckage
the remains of what was once
          the ruins
                     junk
                         debris
                            rubbish
of a life lived . . . 
all the shattered pieces
             the scars
                  the ashes
                      the pain 
                         the tears
                             the grief
and scraps of happiness
           hard to grasp and hold
the path has been uphill, and curved
but the past is the past
           and today, is today
