The useful past

When what is happening trembles
one wishes for the impossible,
we wish to have around
people when miles away,
we wish to bring back the past
which lies buried in the present.

When everything is in place
we lose our guard and play:
failing to value those and what matters
when close to us they stay.
The past and its mistakes awake
and we fall prey again.
