Rhyme of Time

Please read the author's note. Thanks.

It's all stale now and,
This emptiness just feels so familiar..

 

Take me to the place back then ..

 

Before we've got  too wrapped into this tornado of "what's going on and how it'd rather be"

 

Guess we're sunk in broken syllables of yesterday....

 

Take me back in time when-

 

Everything was a reason to be amused
Our skin nearly hypnotized at the thought of being alive

 

We were never too lost, too broken or too young to dream

Simply ardent souls cluelessly wandering in time

 

I'm not here tryin' to romantacise history but,
 we've got to wake up
And see that our past,present and future are all sonants to the same rhyme;

Endless spirals of everything we've lived,felt, loved and lost

 

Now, our cerebrums are just so fused..
from our bewitched remembrance

Where we'd only dwell on every turn,
every lesson we've learned

and kill everything else we never recalled

 

So let's hold on to the cadence to which our senses respond

'Cause in every waking moment, a meaning is born

 

Author's Note

Too often, people embrace the past in weird ways. They kinda filter the past; thinking of either memories or lessons learned ONLY, and make judgements on the quality of their life based on that. They make the past 'empty' through their method of remembrance. They totally forget all of the supreme moments (good or bad) that could give an absolute meaning to their quest of life.The past,present and future are all connected and one cannot exist without the other. One should live in loving memory of all three in order to lead a life with passion.
P.S- This is just my personal opinion 100% :), all discussions allowed :)

Such truth and wisdom in these words. Memories can be good or bad, but like you have so eloquently expressed, they are all important. The past can define our future, leading us to better days or in the least, days of understanding.
Your wisdom is well beyond your years my friend.

Marvellous. I agree with this approach. And then everything happens for a reason, we waste our life energy by considering many precious experiences as "losses". Beautiful piece.

[Daydreamer]

Thank you so much for your kindness💘💘💘
much appreciated

You're welcome!

I completely agree with you on this... One should not live in the past. Believe me, we all try to leave behind memories that do us no good.. But heck no, they haunt us until the end of time.. Wounds will heal over time but the scars will last..

A really good write :)

[Daydreamer]

Actually I believe we SHOULD remember the past but in a certain way only for own good... Some people filter the bad moments of the past, collect them,carry and dwell on them forever... That's NOT the right approach to the past💔
thankyouu by the way for stopping by & dropping your comment :D

[Jeffrey David]

Fantastic piece.... I completely share your philosophy on this subject. The perception of the past is very powerful, for some it is positive, and creates the inspiration for moving forward, and growing. For others it is quite the opposite. You really captured this. I will read this many times......

[Daydreamer]

Thank you for making my day, Jeffrey😁😁😁

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i don't know if the past is just lessons learned..good and bad experiences in my life are all part of it, part of making me into who i am today...a little older, a little wiser, and really comfortable with all of the past...we always as if we would do things differently if we could...
i don't ....i just often reflect, and ponder...and accept.

[Daydreamer]

I believe, people always see the past better than it was... And always long to the older days, with the firm conviction that they were "better"..... I simply think, all we need back is the attitude with which we embraced those days to keep finding meaning in lifee ... Thank you,Sir for the time & words

[Moonie]

Gawd, I always fall in love with the way you link your words. Sonants of the same rhyme??--damn it! Why didn't I think of that!! :))

[Daydreamer]

We are all prone to look at the past through "Rose-colored glasses." I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It can be humanity's greatest coping mechanism. The world can be a very dark and terrifying place; the need to see and to remember the good can be the saving of someone's sanity. Some things are just too much to deal with all at once. Every person's journey is unique and we all have a unique perspective to share. I don't think anyone gets to say someone else's remembrances are wrong. No one can walk another person's journey; no one has the right to decide what should be in another person's brain. But, the human mind rarely ever really forgets. Those memories reemerge as a person must come to face their issues. The honesty, or lack thereof, with which people deal with their issues is where the real problems begin.

[Daydreamer]

Nobody condemned memory, but there is a right way to remember! I haven't spent time writing this to despise or dishearten anybody's belief or opinion on the past. I didn't enforce my opinion as well. Perhaps, you didn't get my point :)
Some people escape so many gorgeous moments, and only dwell on the last things that happened, which leads them to hallways of emptiness, darkness and discern to the present... Remembrance should help one recharge and carry on his own journey after having come so long and fill them with euphoria.. I appreciate your time & words anywag :) thanks

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome. I agree that memory should help people move forward and live better lives. I just understand more of why people suppress memory, why they choose the now. I don't necessarily agree with their reasons; I just try to understand.

something I believe that only authors truly get...well done. :)

[Daydreamer]

PATRIICIIAA! I MISS YOU! LONG TIME😢💔 how have you beeen?
thanks,darling for the time to read and comment 💗

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed, the past often lends itself to nostalgia and filters those moments we rather keep hidden, where to embrace may lead to learning, well done, good read.
