I Told

I told you not 

I told 

I told all
that would listen 

Told them how it was 
how it would be 

Now 

I’m telling you all

These precious things 
that have been 

And

Will be.

As I sit here thinking
Of what is to be
And been
My mind wanders to things
That have passed, have been.

There are no memories
As strong as those
That I’ve lived
Been part of
Those that have been.

Future dreams that I’ll be living
Won’t be nothing
Won’t be memories til
They’ve passed thru my living
Going into what has been.

Feeling Mixed

Feeling mixed
And
Feeling strange
Grapple with the concept
Never knowing how
The game is played.

Truthfully told
But not explained
I listen in awe of those
Who have been
And
Those who came
