our life’s journey
is a forward move
never we retrace our steps
never we visit
the same place twice.
though the path may wind
even to loops
within view of where we’ve been
we don’t set foot again
where we did before.
we move on, move on
not pausing, not relenting,
towards
eternity.

- I believe this life on earth is not the best nor the worst; that the next life we lead depends on the choices we make and the steps we take now.

It's sad, isn't it, never being able to ever go back in time. To be with certain people ever again. In certain places in certain situations. The second verse is so sad but so true. Sometimes life goes a circle and takes us back to a certain point in time but nothing is ever quite the same. But I guess it's good that we don't have to rehash bad experiences all over again.
Calliopia, the fact that we can't go back there should teach us to value every moment too, i think, though that's hard to remember. And like you said, bad experiences too go away and become part of the past.
This is good...really made me think :)
Lulian, thanks. And thanks for dropping in after long time.
mes - I sometimes love the word 'relentless' but most times I hate it. Like now for example. Mes, I really love your little poems! Write more :)
Jerusha, i hate the word, actually. but i had to use it here because it says what i want to say. thanks for the comment on my poems. btw, you look like an actress in the new pic.<>
How true indeed, Pi Malsawm. I must admit the tone is a little bit cynical, but at the same time that is what reality is all about too. And who better to speak about this journey through life than one with such experience as you. A lovely poem indeed.
Ps. Pi Malsawm, I'm back in Mumbai now, ready to brave the upcoming June floods. :-)
A Heraclitus in verse; profound indeed.
Illusionaire, Life's journey isn't all sweet and pleasant, one does get a little tired sometimes, especially when one has trudged a long long way.
Welcome back to hot and happening Mumbai. Hope you had a good time at home. See you around some time.
Philo, just an observation, i don't know about it being profound.
Flute Player has been at it for very long
