The time has come upon me
That I must sift through
The grains of my past
And undo the wrongdoing.
In every facet, from every
Direction, Life has
Scheduled a four-way
Meeting in my living room.

Things I have left unfinished,
Undecided,loose ends I have
Dragged, for years, behind me,
Have now reared up before me
And beg for cleansing.
Four rivers lead dirctly
Into my pool, asking and entreating
Their waters to be dredged;
To vacuum from their murkiness
The dirt and sludge built
Up of neglect...

As though, by unrelenting
In their slapping
I am forced to make a move...
To bring out the disinfectant,
The eraser, the delete button.

How can it be these things
Coagulate, and who knew to
Bring them to me?
And who made the decision,
"The time is now?"

It is a good thing to clean out the closets of ones past once in a while....Just don't be too hard on yourself about it. The past cannot be changed but you have become a wonderful person so make sure you pat yourself on the back for that and do not look to closely at your past...sometimes we will only see that bad and that can be hard on our self image. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
