Let Go Everything changes this we all know Time’s river continues its measured flow If we freeze our souls locked in the past We might think that we can make something last The truth is we simply hide away Never letting our sore hearts out to play Let go of the past and start again Feel love’s gentle kiss let go of past pain No matter what time flows ever on And some when it will be forever gone Let go of your fears walk into now If you try you’ll get there some when some how Don’t be afraid to let your past go Take that first step into times ceaseless flow Only facing why you can’t move on Will you say your past is finally gone Let go of your past kiss it goodbye Leave lonely memories wrapped in a sigh Only those afraid of what will be Refuse to take that step of liberty Looking back and holding on too tight Keeps you stuck where you can’t use hope’s clear sight Use what you’ve learned to set your soul free Now your own future calls you come to me Don’t look away from futures clear light Walk on to tomorrow its there in sight Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

This is beautiful, Marsha... and wonderful advice! *S* Sometimes, it's hard to leave the known... even when it no longer even remotely qualifies as a comfort zone. *S* I like this very much. *S* |

Two steps toward and none behind Simple thought from weary mind Taking the two-step to the dance Looking forward, not back a glance. Let the mind keep going it's way tippy toeing along this shiny day. Never lookin' back to see or find Nor pretendin' to be just blind... Good message dear Mushy....surely this is.. UTTERLY SO!!!! |

Marsha - this poem is awesome and oh, so true. Life is too short to dwell on the past. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Wise words expertly told, mushy one. The past is past....we have to let it go and move on.....one of those things so easy to say and so hard to do. Your wisdom is showing  |

Some say that the past, the present, and the future are all happening at the same time. I have some difficulty wrapping my mind around this concept; however, I do know one thing for certain, life is a lot less complicated when you concentrate on the present. Live in the now. (It's the Zen thing to do!)That way you don't bog yourself down with problems from the past or with fears for the future. |
