One forgets
the dazzle of the past
haunts one's heart,
for each pearl
glows like a diamond,
an illusion to the receptors
that filter the radiance
of lasting luminous
Does the cornerstone
of marble resemble that
made of slate;
that brittle,
faded slab
crumbling with tempers and erosion
To focus on the past,
aid the future,
capturing that moment
that alter our expectations
and renewing a sense of worth...
To dwell in the past,
alters the perception of one's life
that tends to linger,
cause guilt,
and emotional weakness
Share the warmth
and compassion
one gives to others,
with one's self
