It is always easy to unentangle
the Past into clarity,
fork and ingest, decipher
her epiphanous meaning
under cones of the clear white light,
shone by fleeting Present. But sometimes, when
she lingers long enough,
her diaphanous flecks
spill purpose onto the swell of Future,
transmogrifying into a slip-fit link
so life becomes one long roller chain
of purpose.

ReplyDeleteGuess we all do, at some point or the other, Helen! :-D Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteTrying to decipher what the past actually meant can be a challenge, as we get different strands, and we try to connect and make sense of them. Thank you!
