Tabula Rasa Rising

Embedded poetry - does a body good. ;-P

 

Tabula Rasa Rising

 

Remind me later

Of happy things that happened,

I forget too soon.

 

A haze of today,

Blurred by tomorrow's promise

Resides in my eyes

 

These words are moonlight

Captured in a mirror glance,

Lacking foundation.

 

These words are bedrock,

Braced deep in stratified bones

Boosting from below.

 

Fractured as thinking,

A look, a sigh, a gesture

Changes everything.

 

A new beginning,

Old as the last beginning,

Edges to an end.

 

Another day turns,

Bubbling with potential

To walk a new path.

 

Around each corner

A moment of bliss awaits

If you dare to look.

Author's Note

There's a kind of bravery in being honest.

Hey i really like your style...and its just not about the style but the substance which is too substantial to be overlooked. The depth these lines drag me to is incredible.

Actually we do tend to forget all the good times and never do we lose track of the bad ones. Instead of keeping safe the memory of good times we lock up the bad ones like a treasure and use them as parameters.
Such true lines.

Lovely work.
