The past

Transcending the colours of memories past
Are thoughts that beg the future
To honour them with time
For time is short as the crow flies straight
through the eye of the unforgiving storm
And the past is fickle with a jaundiced heart
That raids the home of every dream
So if I could bend life's rigid bow
and let its arrows fly
I would pierce the past
and its jaundiced heart
and set all prisoners free.

Yes: the past's jaundiced heart keeps many prisoners under its spell...
