What-Was Land Precedes What-Is
Land and What-If Land.
What-Was Land most often has
its opposites---and neutral places.
Memories better forgotten.
Memories cherished in the heart.
Memories neither really good nor bad.
Each of us has to work out for our self
in which “time-frame” we choose to live,
a choice that determines the seeds
we are planting or neglecting that will
grow into harmony, peace and joy---or not.
A life lived looking
back in the rear-view mirror
is no life at all.
What was past is gone.
What was sad has run its course.
What was pain is done.
What was can be knots
we continue to tighten
or those we release.
What was, let it go.
What was hurtful hurts no more.
What was exists not.
Remembered guilt, shame.
What-Was Land is recycling.
Better a book closed.
The realm of what was
can be a “haunting” desert.
Stuck in hot, deep sand.
Whether happy, sad,
a moment past loses now.
Time never retrieved.
The fullness of here
is all that can truly be.
Nothing else takes place.
Forgive is resting
from any, all past errors.
The slate is clear, pure.
Miss is, miss the whole.
That is all there ever is.
Is, is right here now.
