January 18 Poem by Varna Soyokaze
January 18
Do the promises still stand true?
In far away foreign lands
the moon waned and waxed.
You and I held different hands
and looked up at different skies,
while exploring various coast lands.
Will we still look forward to the rendezvous?
We choose our paths and bid adieu
Six Autumns and Six Winters ago.
We won't again start anew,
But just take a moment's off
and stare at the skies for a while or two.
The Present and the Future are ever changing,
The only unchangeable truth being the Past;
We won't look at the same horizons again
As you and I walk different paths of contrast.
But back then we did share our path
So I will honor this promise till the last.
Our dreams are different and the path we choose to walk also differs. When we break up from our childhood lovers, either we still hold feelings for them our heart or we move on.
This poem tells the about a lover, who has moved on from their childhood love and is doing pretty well in their lives. But as kids there are promises we make to stay in touch, to succeed in life and be happy. Do we still keep those promises even after being miles apart? Do we still stay in touch even if we no longer hold feelings for each other? Do we still work hard and live the life of our dreams?
Even if the present and the future has changed, the promises we made back then to ourselves and our loves about doing our best, being the best version of ourselves and working hard remains unchangeable and true.
