Careful

One of these days the sky is going to break and everything will escape. I know this because ....... This is my least favorite life. As the sun pulled away from the sky. The moon fell away from the stars. Like the memory of a bygone season. The shadows grow long as the westward sun kissed the sky. I dream in my memory pallets of people and places, I've forgotten. From another life that soon fades from view. But still ..... I see their faces. June 10, 2015, Wednesday

Forgotten memories and people from the past never really stay there. They will remain with us forever, from birth to death, and maybe even birth again... A very deep and soulful write, Debbie. Beautifully expressed!

The end began between the lines. When horizons set to change the signs. And right and wrong went their own way. To leave us waiting for that day. Careful. Peace. :)

Time is a man made concept. Its how we count our steps until we go into the dark. Enter that final doorway. Love how you wrote this poem.. A7

So, they are always there, even as they fade, they come back. Life is just such a mystery, but you charm the sun, moon and stars with your words and come close to the ultimate solution--what is life about. We can't know but only see the shadows and after images. You are deep my friend. Your work is making me think hard!

so why didn't you like Cash? Do you mean his singing, debs? yes, it is a taste to be acquired . I know he had a kind of wild youth but hopefully he turned himself around at the end. I like to think so. Thanks for reading the poem!! and I sure do like this one of yours here.

It is interesting to me how you have divided up your past from your present. I would hate the day that past life faded from my mind!! To me it would mean that I might as well be dead! I enjoyed this one today, Debbie.
