"Thoughts Of Yesterday"

Sometimes...

The connection must be broken

When two beings meet at a crossroad

A parting of the ways comes to be

Not as punishment...

Betrayal...

Or abandonment

But as a form of survival

To preserve the remaining respect, worth, and the time invested

The dignity of something that once was sought

Planted...

Cultivated...

Nurtured...

And embraced

Memories link us

Our days lived become our days remembered

Now past...

We honor it

Given to us those days borrowed

We return it with no debt owing

Striking our pen to a new crisp piece of paper upon the pages of the book of our lives

We are the author and the only owner to that right

And the keeper of the light

All that we send out into the world

And that which we wish to receive

Shed a tear within sentimental reflection

Let the grief of the passing moment move you to the next step upon the path of life

Our happiness is deserved and worth knowing

Be kind to your inner being

Treasure it all

Its experience gained

Fondly known

Now erased...

Or pieces of echoes will still recall within the minds eye

These are the words we should not fear

Embrace the known

And let pass what has been with the setting sun of yesterday.
