the carelessness of the past

like a cloud hanging

in the complicated

sky of my mind

persists in the oblivion

of the changing seasons

The photo is amazing, Jonathan, and your brief poem offers the reader the opportunity to reflect on how the past can insinuate itself into the present and then future. Nicely done.

Thank you, Kim. The photo is from last September while flying across the state of Washington.

I am not in a mood today to regret the carelessness of my past. Not that Jonathan is suggesting I do. Not that I have ever been careless. Why am I suddenly in the mood for beef stew.

Oh, that we always learn from the past and then are able to do greater things in the days to come.
