via Daily Prompt: Retrospective
A Retrospective State of Mind
by EE Winkler
A retrospective state of mind
doesn’t consider the future but only this moment in time
it gets swept up in the past and on momentary things
but neglects the joy that hope can bring
A retrospective state of mind
is determined and set out to find
something that can be gleaned from past events
something to prevent future hardships
A retrospective state of mind
in and of itself can be just fine
but coupled with a future tense
it has the power to make a lot more sense
A retrospective state of mind
contemplates on the memories that it finds
it has the power to be a strength or a weakness too
if you only allow yourself to see from the retrospective view.
