POEMS WITH RUKENNY

…………IN RETROSPECT

In bemusing breaths,

Of beautiful memories,

Deep sighs,

Of hurting stories,

And soothing solace,

in past glories.

 

We’re taken aback

As we flip through moments of throwback.

Bitter or sweet

Depends on what we made of it.

How our different choices spiced it up,

To take us to the bottom or top.

 

Like a mirror, these memories reflect,

To show whether or not we earn,

Disregard or respect.

To show our fulfillments or regrets!

In retrospect, would you be proud of the life you lived?
