lay the memories of forgotten times
never to be eliminated as the resurface
from time-to-time to remind us of
where we've been and who we are...
who we were... or might have been
had we continued with that journey;
below the surface of the subconsciousness
lay the false claims of the false prophets
who guided our spirts into rhelms of
inidignation where we committed crimes
against ourselves and our own shadows
that were destined to betray as we aged;
below the surface of our self-awareness
lay the rewards of who we really are
or have become today in our pursuits
of how we live our lives with those who
desire to have communion with us or
live in the daily shadows of our behaviors;
below the surface of our retrospection
lay the crimes we have forgotten and
sit the people we have stepped on or
somehow bypassed along the way... and,
stand those who failed to stop us from our
journey that they felt was wrong and who
were at one time referred to as our parents;
below our deaths that always arrive too soon
are the lives we have led during our lifetimes
for which we will be remembered and quite
possibly forgiven by those who still care.
