Lawrence S. Pertillar: The Unfolding of Things Not Meant to Last ✨

It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep. <br />Yesterday and those days before. <br />It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep. <br />But come as it does to undo those doings done. <br />With an adjustment to have minds change. <br /> <br />Those yesterdays and the ones before, <br />Have locked those doors to close forevermore. <br /> <br />It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep. <br />But come as it does to undo those doings done. <br />With an adjustment to have minds changed. <br />Leaving nothing left to remain maintained, <br />As the same to provide a satisfying comfort. <br /> <br />It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep. <br />Any yesterday that came days before. <br />It wasn't meant to be what it was to weep. <br />To come as it does to leave, <br />A comfort providing comfort undenied. <br /> <br />It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep, <br />Or weep through memories of it kept to reminisce. <br />Since even they will be gone from existence, <br />As beliefs now perceived set in steel and/or concrete. <br />It wasn't meant to be what it was to stay that way.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
