Poem
Future dreams- I have put on hold because of dreadful fear, Until now, I am trapped in a cemetery with the dead, weeping; To myself so often, I say just let it go, let the pain go-follow dreams. Until now, my yesterdays were more important than tomorrows, Ravaged has been my short life and my future out of sight; Ends of journeys usually mean beginnings of others- but I am stuck. I have had a dark past, full of death and tragedy. And I am unable to let it go. And what is odd is that my parents were the happiest people, never full of gloom. Why cannot I be more like them? They were always looking to the future, they had plans and dreams, and they never dwelled in the past. They could have, but did not. My Dad used to say that life is like chapters in a book, you finish one, begin another. I know that it will be impossible to live my dreams until I accept the sad of my past. Accepting the past will allow me to move into the future. Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, as the saying goes. I want to make new memories, happy ones, but first I must find the happiness that dwells within. And move on because I have beautiful dreams full of peace and tranquility and awesome new adventures. I will take the past lessons and bring them with me- amazing are my dreams _______________________ Written May 7, 2016 Poetry/Acrostic/Haibun/Senyru/"Amazing Are My Dreams" Copyright Protected, ID 16- 787-517-0 All Rights Reserved.
