How do I see

[linda1123]

How do I see the future
when I cannot find my past,
How do I build foundations
That I know are going to last.

With bits and pieces missing
and secrets kept from me,
How do I stop the questions
and find serenity.

My mind is always traveling
down roads that I create,
Where quests are finally finished
and much sought answers wait.

Scenario's repeat themselves
With solutions changed each time,
I roll the imaginary film
and ending I could not find.

My head is always in the clouds
my feet not near the ground,
Can you hear my constant secret prayer,
the song that has no sound.

My heart will always be tied
to another time and place,
Until I find the passage
to that secluded hidden place.

Where it all started long ago
or once upon a time,
Each day until I find the path
I'm searching for those hidden signs.

The one's that will point out the way
the direction I should go,
To stop this life long puzzle
and the past I want to know.

The idea of your poem is a bit tired, repetitive, and cliché at times. Are you asking questions? Where are the question marks? But I do like the dependency in the images you’ve created. For example, a building requires a solid foundation, just as having a future requires one to have a past. Nice:)

what about this poem of mine:

we sat, like the idle weeds,
for nothing to be told
speech is silver, silence is gold

i'll say it again, "people's poet"---is that who you are?

your poetry hasn't improved, sadly, since you last posted. sorry, i'm just being honest.

thanks for the email updating me all about your fame, ms. linda. ugh.

Yeah. And thanks for the shrill, scary PM telling me about all the awards you've won and calling me dumb because I criticised your work about a year ago. For a Christian, you sure know how to hold a grudge.

If I never have to experience your unpleasant, ungrammatical e-shouting at me in block capitals again it'll be too soon. Learn some manners, learn the rules of grammar, learn to accept criticism and then you can play nice and join the party. Is that too much to ask? Bye for now.

Dryden, that looks promising. Why not create a thread of your own for your work? You just have to click 'new thread' at the top of the main poetry page.

Yes Dryden please do start a new topic with your poem :)
