A Look Inward

A Look Inward

For all I ever once was
all I ever want to be,
fleeting mists singing
and rising fogs in morn
sunset views triumphant;
resting deep inside of me
shadows of a spirit 
cold and stark in reality.

R. J. Lindley,

A Look Backward

For all I ever once did
and all my heart sees,
glowing memories
and loves beyond measure
days the sun stirs;
rainbows softly drifting
spirit patiently waiting
love's hopes sweetly livin'.

Found this old poem(very rare free verse from 39 years ago) and decided to give 
a new and up to date answer/reply.
