Sometimes it’s instructive to read what I’ve written before
I get insight into my current situation some more
There are common threads that run through
my past and my present
That get incorporated in my writings to some extent
When I re-read my writing, I am able to compare
The two situations, become more self-aware
Of whether I’ve learnt anything from a past experience (or not)
Reflecting on past writing gives me food for thought
*
Towards the same themes I seem to gravitate
On unresolved issues, I tend to cogitate
I distill my emotions into verses to which I can return
When faced with a predicament, and some lessons learn..
Passion...unbridled
