The Final Bow

A rumble below our feet

Rain begins to pour heavily

Such power it carries

We can't help but feel,

The static energy in the air

Is it the perfect time to undress our emotions

Free us from this bondage

And since we are sheltered within

Shed light on the darkness, do we dare,

I question though, do we expose

The truths of our past

Or let them lay dormant

And take an oath to never again ask,

Maybe they are better left unsaid

Should we expose everything

Or leave them to run their course

What do you think,

For fear of rage

We allow them to take their final bow

Never to look back

Upon our past life's stage.

I like the theme although I believe the past is the personal property of each person . In a relationship we give today and the future because that's all we have to give. You raise the question very well and I think frankly this is one of your better works, but the issue will never be settled.

We use the past hopefully to learn from our mistakes so we can have a rich rewarding life. Good job.

I love it!!!! The past is important and a beautiful thing, but sometimes we need to just let it go. We learn from the past but we live in the present. Great job!!!!!!

We are but our past . They make the stepping stones and the framework of our being. Whether we acknowledge them or not, we are but a product of their influences. If we care to share or if we choose not to, it is up to the individual to determine. How much we reveal also depends on whom we decide to share it with and their approach to acceptance.

Thanks for understanding :)

i like the double sided twist you used with thie poem. this presents the great immitation of life. life is double sided, you can decide to live for the future or past.. i love how you created the arqument of whether leaving the past dormant or looking back to it. it creates a well sided argument. well written my friend.

Thank you very much :)

What of the past? What is the final blow of all our hits?
Thoughtful write my friend.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you dear friend :)

[quinfinn]

it is my belief that a person's past escapades are private property and best left there to fade away. i love this write. not a subject i would have expected, so it is original and well done.

Ok, now you're delving into my soul here...woo, I'm kind of speechless it's a very personal thing for me. Much food for thought, that's all I can say right now. Nicely written....
