Time 

We are the sum

of our experiences.

Nurture and Nature

combined into one soul.

Our memories of events

colored by the mood

we were in at the time.

Moods change. Time passes.

Looking into mirrors,reflections

of back passages, with night vision

we see backwards truths,

of what we thought

was the truth of our existence.

Black and whites, now blurred green

and glowing eerily, no longer clear

as experiences, challenge, and conflict.

One solid truth, nullifying others,

until we are swimming in a swirl

we can not even call gray because

strands of color in bands of

variegated shades still exist giving us something

to tie the threads of our past to.
