An Array of Vast Universes

Everybody says that forgetting
the one we loved is unfair, cruel, and silly; 
don't attempt to bury recollections under rocks,
and instead of burning them completely,
express bitterness for a sad ending...
although the fervent sentiment never stops!

Search for the fondness of words,
delve deeper into your awareness
and the skeletons of regret won't rebuke
the conscience for the unappreciated value
of all the exciting life they led once,
and the preciousness they still constitute!

Does anyone admit that continue living
without forgiving is an act of unmercifulness?
Should we love ourselves more or less, 
never appreciating the joy of giving and sharing? 

Pierce the sunless skies with daring eyes,
beyond them, there's an incredible blueness...
not matched or displayed by waveless seas;
what lies ahead is an array of vast universes!

So interesting, Andrew. Quite a read! I had to stop and ponder: "Does anyone admit that continue living without forgiving is an act of unmercifulness?" Yes, very thought-provoking stuff~
