Poem Artwork


A contemplative life is easy if you live
Long enough to have the time to look back when
Forgetting is hard for who have to forgive
To live forgetting what you can forgiving the rest

Living well the best revenge laughing last and best
Getting back remembering you get it then
Who forgiving hope to be forgiven too
Or maybe just forgotten as we are and we do

Whatever the meaning whenever we arrive
No one is begotten to be forgotten
Remember the ones who remembered for you
Or me nor forget no one gets out of this alive

A contemplative life though harder than I thought
Living by forgiving is easier than not

Living long enough to look back at life has got to have a lot of forgive/forget in the scenery which should make living that long cool.

Love ya!
