yesterday
passing, fleeting, fading quickly
time is here for a moment only.
like a sunshine’s kiss that fades so fast
so, catch each moment if you must.
for the days of old, you can no longer see
what it is now, nothing but a memory.
for the screams and whispers of before
what might it sound, it is here no more;
for the taste it held whether sweet or bitter
what else could it be other than a reminder?
for the scent and smell it presented itself
what would be dwelling there give? Could it help?
for all ease or pain, it did put you through
whatever it was, it’s much what it could do.
you can look back as much as you will
but yesterday remains just a memoir still.
so lend your ears dear and carefully heed,
living in the past would not help you indeed.
savor as many flavors of your history,
be grateful for all its lessons definitely;
just breathe each drop of its memory
but move on to what you have here today.
hold unto those you must love the most
keep them in your heart as you are supposed.
all the senses you have let fade with time
is the force behind all your reason or rhyme.
your story is not defined by your history
so go forth with your faith as your victory.
learn.
