Lore

Lore

Lore.
Fertile
minds
of the
past.
Ancient
construction.
Limited
understanding,
worldview.
Concepts.
Stories.
Germinated.
Simple
tales.
Passed
along.
Forward.
Mythologies
taught.
Generation
to generation.
Massaged,
evolved,
fine tuned.
Millenia
pass.
Simple
concepts
enhanced,
fleshed
out.
Over time.
Grand
stories
told.
Old
to the
young.
So on
and
so on.
Stories
like glue.
Holding
to the
past.
Holding
on to
superstitions.
Notions
eons
bygone.
Stuck to
ancient
philosophies.
As
gospel!

We are free to create our own realities. Poetry is its own universe for that!
 Thanks for reading.

Reflection

I feel as if my days are in a process of summing up.
That I linger in oft moments reviewing the past...
