My meandering mind meanders.

 

I Passed Myself Today
by
Liz Larrabee
 
 
Today I passed myself
on the way back to my youth.
 
Foolishly retracing
the footsteps of my failures
I braved the muck and mire
of mid-life misadventure
to  avert despair by the experience
of having already been there--
blinded by passion     
when I should have known better.
 
How many wrongs does it take         
finally to see
from a vantage point too late--
Today may be
the best of all possible endings.

I could have written this, but not as well. I have, of late, retraced a lot of my steps. Sometimes sadly, very sadly.

Yep it sure can be a lesson we can't correct.

Don't we all have 20/20 hindsight. But it is good to rearrange our memories so they become more pleasant.
