I THINK I SHALL TURN AGAIN

a reflective poem - about making changes in one's life

I think I shall  turn again...                                    

           Back to the border of my line �"

          Between the pressing and the passing

          of so much precious time

Time which people waste 

That I still hold as mine.  

 

I think I shall return again

               To the safest inner land.

             To  the  drift and silent sifting 

 The eternally shifting sand. 

 

 

I think I shall turn again

               To the ebbing and the flow

             To the rippling in and edging out

 Of the soft waters of my soul.

 

I think I shall turn again

              To sing another song

              Memories can be 

            Expunged!  Effaced!

 And suddenly   -

They’re  gone...
