Curtain/Life Through Glass

by Lily Bride - Gemini

His mind wanders the darkest corners
longing to catch a glimpse
of what there is to come.
But only what has been
reveals its darkened presence
of past pains and traumas
of a life long lost.
With distant hope he searches
the pictures of dampened 
memory, once drowned, only
to emerge from the
surface once again
to haunt and taunt with 
their heart wrench and shiver.
In this  ugliness of that
past and forget
lies future,
time moving
forward eternal,
unchanging with every
beat and moving hand.
The tunes change thru 
time and place
yet all else remains
the same, no matter
what is learned, forgotten,
burned, begotten.
Future holds past,
and past, future.
