Connections

My connection
With a past
Best forgotten
Tenuous
Most cannot fathom
This propensity for coping with loss
Minds operating
On autocorrect
Inching closer and closer
To a peaceful end

My connection
With a present
Best remembered
Glorious
Most can fathom
This drive to nurture
Instant gratification
Shaped by shifting life stations
Systems operating on old familiar patterns
Inching closer and closer
To an exciting end

My connections
With a future
A total mystery
Most can fathom
Every day’s gift promised
All experiences treasured
Pain buried
Love triumphant
Dreams more and more distant
Humanity’s comprehension of life
Inching closer and closer
Unravelling mytstery's end
