-- The Edge of Future and Past -- John Herlihy The edge of the future Lies before us, a mirage. The edge of the past, Darkening petals, a corsage. The edge of the future, Possibility and hope. The edge of the past, A frayed, unravelling rope. The edge of the future, An open, extended plain. The edge of the past Where only memories remain. The edge of the future Lies before us, gleaming. The edge of the past, Lies behind us, receding. In between, a living pledge, The present moment has no edge. - - - - - - (c) John Herlihy 2 July 2020

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior
