The Old Self and Sin
I've awoken to the fact
that one shouldn't look back
at the past as often as I do.
Biblical type regrets
the heart and soul cannot digest
all the salt that is left,
memories of you.

"The Old Self and Sin".
.... Reminds me of an ancestor of mine, who referred to himself as "the old evil".
... A wonderful, concise piece that emanates with the art of brevity.

Reflecting gives us perspective, while some try to live in the past.
Incredible write.
