Stepping Over Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Stepping Over Memories



Stepping forward in time, yet backwards in a mind, looking
to the future, wanting to see what it may bring.

Afraid to take a peek, because memories walking backwards
remind you of past sorrows and pain.

Rejecting talk of better things to come, sliding further
backwards into the slime of a forgotten being.

Tentatively proceeding, cautious of each and every feeling,
placing paramount importance on not having any pain to deal
with.

Stepping over memories and forward in time, will bring you
face to face with your entire life when it is truly time
for it.

March on quietly, taking life in stride and you shall find
more joy in it than pain.
