                                     PAST
                              by Martin Zialcita


                            A blissful dream it was,
                            At least for the moment.
                           Lucidity embraces reality
                           And all is shattered by it.
                              Hopes for tomorrow
                               Are thrown away.
                            The present is lived by
                              Echoes of the past,
                              Along with all the
                              Laughter and sorrow.
                           The victories of yesterday
                             Are relived once more,
                             But so are life's most
                                 Painful falls.
                                The yesterday...
                          Will we be ever freed from it?
                            Some say now is the time
                              To rectify the past.
                                     But no,
                              We will live with it
                                     Forever.
