Dollo's Law of Evolution

[Tanner]

The past is indestructible
We cannot go back

Our failures and regrets
Haunt us like Gordian knots

Listen to the heart
By lessons learned we persevere

[Parkinsonspoet]

wise words written with clarity

Pp, Thank you for your comments here and over the past year. Perseverance is your twin brother. Best wishes to you in 2017 as you deal with life and health issues. I think I am in the same boat. Take good care of yourself.

Suz-zen, Thank you for your comment. I have tried to write, as of late, a few relatively short but somewhat dense poems conceptually. Happy New Year to you!
