Future Selected Poem by Bridgid Patrick

Future Selected

Rating: 3.5


A memory or two
Returning...reappearing
Surprisingly entering our hearts again
Not the same...always rearranged
Haunting and intriguing
Living and dying
Pushing and pulling

Remembering togetherness
Moments of shared hearts
In the midst of isolation
Remembering that we were
Not alone
No longer applying
Such long forgotten
Traces of feeling and thought

Never again will our lives
Be as they were
A future uncertain...
With unknown duration
Past reflected as if present
Selecting each moment
Wondering...searching for meaning
Past changing...as the future
Takes hold of us

Dear Brigid, A very nice departure from your excellent light verse. This is a fine poem examining that old devil, change. Best, Hugh

This is what poets do so well - making us remember, sometimes the things we would rather forget. Today seems to be a day for posting rememberance poems, but yours is at the top of the list. Great work. Scarlett
