To look back is to freeze in time;
to be fixed, rooted to a moment
that has lived its life.
...
Charge me
with your nonsense,
blame your tears
on me; I have no lies to hide;
...
However long I sit,
Nothing comes of it
Save visions of your face;
Dusky roses, graced
...

To look back is to freeze in time;
to be fixed, rooted to a moment
that has lived its life.
Do not regret;
do not forget;
but do not look back,
for every moment
is a rebirth,
a life,
and a little death.
Take the lives you live
in every moment -
learn from them
with every indrawn breath.
Circle-spiral ever inward;
eyes turned away
as the new day dawns,
searching for a different light,
a different state of mind
that is impossible to find
and yet following just behind.
