PAST LESS MIND

In Middle of Nowhere and holding nothing

Stands a man with blankness in Memory

He wonders about the hourglass and its sand

The heart of the past and the meaning of present


The scar has a coarse reality to it

Reality has no explanation of irony

Did he ever dream of a hopeful future

Imagining that the past would be redeemed


He looks at the crystal blue stretch

Touches the cold indifference of comfort

The sting of that first touch and a reassurance

Some feelings are not in your own sense


The nothingness parts and dream subsides

A crowd of thoughts and a face in sight

Face Says “Goals ahead and a past less mind

What takes you through is your heart’s might.”


“Where am I Oh face of wisdom

Dreams are made of man’s life

A dream to an incident, an idol to a mortal

That’s how the future does the past drive”


“Moment is what you live,

Moment is what you die

Moment is what you win

Life is what you Try ”

This is another example which shows your ability to perceive thoughts and feelings behind the scenes; I believe you wrote this poem for ‘Eternal Sunshine of spotless mind’. I can relate Joel’s feelings of the Blankness of mind and the heart full of feelings in this poem. You can really understand the meaning and objective of one’s creation. The concluding lines are really amazing; those make a great thought about life.

@Kapil-->Thanks.
It has been a while since I have seen Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind. Hence, it did not occur to me when i was writing this. But yes, the setting is similar. I may have something to write on Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind. It is long pending.
