I am my past, and I am proud of it
I am my sorrows, my joys, my pains
As the rushing waters shape the canyons,
The fears of lifetimes have made me as I am

Thoughts are found in silent moments,
To be deserted in shadows come the light of morning
But you find me in the night, when I flow from dark waters
And you make me take you with me on this night ride

Of a life-time
For though you sift through my past,
There is nothing more precious than this moment in space
Memories we so often sculpt with desire
And emotions we thought we’d left behind
So many years ago…
Yet if I dig, the skeletons can always be found

We’re making history, darling,
We’re making who we’re going to be
So enjoy everything you see-
This ride is so much more than a forgettable dream

I like what the poem is saying and how you unravel it. In my opinion, and it's just a thought, I would consider removing "when I flow from dark waters And you make me take you with me on this night ride Of a life-time For though" and "in space" To me rest of the poems accomplishes everything you're trying to accomplish without these lines. Anyway, I still enjoy your writing whenever I find myself revisiting this site.
