Taste
becomes history
Health is
future
When taste
races against you
Health becomes
history.

pages
turned back
brings in
the time gone
smiles and
tears play flip flop
a rain of
thoughts and emotions
they race
while you stare out
it’s a whole
sea before you blink
smiles and
tears play flip flop
while they
race the prize is yours
if you can
foresee history on make
you can act
hopefully right
the sea
will serve a dead sea
keeping you
afloat and relaxed
healing you
always,
keeping you
always the YOU who you are

History is
red with wars
You may
think it as scars
If life is
a race that you plan
To win and
just to win
History can
extend hands
To grab
your future where it stands
To make it
red with scars.
sadly history is red with war...a scar we can look back on and even forward and see coming...really like these lines...
ReplyDeleteit’s a whole sea before you blink

Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteYes, history is red with scars indeed. Wish these scars could be erased, but since they can't I hope the world learns from them. I enjoyed your poem, and thanks for sharing with Poetry Jam!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary...Let us all hope for the good.
ReplyDeleteHistory does have its scars to be sure, but thankfully some scars do fade over time, and the scars each contain a lesson to be learned.
ReplyDeleteI like all three of these poems. Love the twist in the first, which made me ponder. Also like the tears and smiles flip-flopping and of course sadly history does leave many scars. Write on!
ReplyDeleteThanks peggy...
