No Editing

I can’t write notes
to my past self
with antidotes
for on my shelf
But future me's
happy to see
mistakes I make

Yes it’s Friday, not Saturday when my next post should come. But it’s four years today (10 Feb) for this site and I’m still posting to it. I didn’t expect myself to keep to it this long. 😁 Thank you for reading!

Ever Forward

I’ve traveled from
the past to now
with the outcome
I have somehow
developed some
so I've become
the me you see

I can’t get back
from whence I came
because I lack
the way to frame
a view to claim
how now became
a place in space

Paying in Time

I watch the bird
singing its song
I should be stirred
and smile along
But it’s silent
And I resent
the wage of age
