About the Poem
I wrote this after realizing that many of us let the past interfere with our present. We must learn to let go of the past so that it does not ruin our present or future.
The Past |
by Leslie Rentas |
The past holds many secrets better left untold . . . For to bring them to the present its bitterness unfolds . . . The memories we cherish may be tarnished by its gloom . . . Its darkness and its sorrow is to what we are doomed . . . There is no need relive the past for to do so is in vain . . . Yesterday's gone, today is here why relive the pain . . . Forget the past as you turn away and wish it a farewell . . . For no longer in the past will your present dwell . . . |
