      28/30 The Echo Answers Differently

      Rewriting Memory

      Maybe the voice of reason I heard in those days

      Was my own in the future traveling back in time

      And maybe the memory now in the present

      Are the restless trolls I once tried to keep in line

      But something sounds so much clearer and different

      As if the years fine-tuned the profound resonance

      Everything now has more definition and meaning

      In understanding the facts and hard evidence

      The truth is…without a sense of purpose or drive

      A moral compass can only point but not steer

      And when the ship is being pulled in all directions

      It’s easy to get lost even when skies are clear

      The echo answers differently this time around

      Call it conscience, spirit, or whatever you like

      But if the ghosts come back to whisper and hang out

      Just ask them to speak clearly into the mic…

      The little shits will shy away and hide in the night

      • Wow…

        I have had this feeling of a future self speaking to a present self…

        Nice profound introspection…

        Another wonderful addition to this NaPo collection…

        • @Cipher_O Thanks Pablo. Many times I’ve had to talk to myself, looking for something within me to guide me. Perhaps time travel really does exist in the mind.
