SAVORING THE PAST by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I AM SAVORING THE PAST
Last Line: AS IT BREAKS MY HEART AGAIN.
Subject(s): GRIEF; MEMORY; PAST; SORROW; SADNESS;
I am savoring the past
Sitting-in with long ago,
Breathing of its perfumed air
Dreaming dreams I used to know ...

I am savoring of the past—
Bitter-sweet the pulsing pain,
Yet I hold it tenderly
As it breaks my heart again.
