Whispers Of The Forgotten

‘Live in the present, live in the present, 'say the wise men Forget the past as it is gone and can not be undone Future is uncertain and we have no control over it But how can we forget the past as present is built on its edifice How can we not think of the future as we know our present action moulds our future It is not easy to forget the past Life's experiences teach us many lessons Even if we try to forget our hurts and bruises Try so much to shove them in a corner and not to see them further They do not go away completely. The so called forgotten things Whisper in our ear sometimes We also recall the silent words of inspiration Who gave us strength in our trial and tribulation. Nothing is forgotten, nothing is forgotten Wounds may heal, scars remain Though everything seems to go as usual Whispers of the forgotten lie hidden in the hollow of the heart. @ Bharati Nayak
