Time remnant

 

Dedicated to you who has been there always with me in crisis - Srishti ❤️




If I knew then 

what I know now

maybe I would have fought hard 

or 

not tried at all. 


If I knew then 

what I know now

I would have definitely not have been THAT worried

Or 

Maybe I would have invented a new form of

Iknowmyfuturenow worry. 


If I knew then 

what I know now

I would have still said 

how? 


I am what I am now

By the percolation of priceless wisdom

Borne through experience 

Good and bad

Even a few milliseconds gone not

I would always wish upon my

Slightly tenser time remnant.  


So I don’t want to know

But be. 

But if I Do know

What I do now

Would it still be me?

Who is typing this now. 

Maybe a parallel me

Who can outrun to the

Edge of horizon 

And holler me back the answer. 


If I know now 

What I know then 

Won’t I still ask how?

Or worse,

When?

Or even worse,

Then?

  2. Being is certainly made of circles. Some days are a lot harder than others, when it comes to the knowing where, why, and how we are standing (and typing).

  4. I love that image of the parallel you running to 'the edge of horizon' to see and holler back the answer.

  5. Nice work, Helen. Love the "parallel me" concept; not "old me / new me".

Constructive criticism is the lifeblood of any work!
