| NEGOTIATE the Past? We never can.
The Past was here, but suddenly it swept Away into oblivion. We wept When opportunity had gone and ran Our yearning hearts in vain attempt to stay The rushing avalanche of hope and time, Whose hours our souls would ever here combine And hold the Past in one eternal day. 'Tis gone! The brightest day has passed from earth, Nor can we traffic with its burdened cares; Its sorrows, hopes and joys and pains alike Are silent now, sealed with its smiles and tears; Bearing from us___to own we much dislike___ Much, much of us, of little worth. __James A.
