relent,
horrendous, artifact, lagoon, wobble, and plunder
No
Time for Looking Back
i
pick it up an artifact left behind
dropped forgotten turn it over in my hand
it
wobbles catches the light i am reminded
of
the horrendous events almost forgotten the past slides under rocks
hides
there we have no time for looking back
hard
to just keep up hard
to stay balanced our
days minutes hours
filled
with necessities things to be done interruptions of more serious
ideas
thoughts reflections memories
the
present is relentless in its' demand for our attention
the
loon cries in the lagoon a lonely sound
a
reminder of another world past present
future what
is treasured is often plundered

Every moment counts, every smile, every encounter and event...every memory. What a brilliant piece, greetings to you lovely.
So beautiful - the lagoon, the lonely call of the loon....the pace of life, the looking back. I resonate with every word, my friend. Beautifully expressed.
