Some mistakes in our lives
We will never be able to right
And the wounds may bleed
Under cover of night
As we remember all the ways we failed
Or were unequal to the task
Life laid before us
So how is it that we can learn to live
Inside the painful aftermath
Of memories and admonishments that fall
Upon us
People tell us all of the time
To just put it behind us
But when it lives inside
How is that possible
Surely we can accept that what had passed
Is past
But sometimes what we longed for
Possesses us so completely
It captures all our energy
Holding us hostage to the below
But must we let it blind us
To the now
To the opportunities before us
That we can grasp
And so let your mourning
Be surrendered when
The time has come
For that is really the only way to move on
From what is ultimately
Inreparable
Deb this is fantastic! And I love it! xo
