Just Go

When nothing goes right
Go left
Let the pain reside
What is that residue you left?
Unknown,
Unfathomable 
Unappreciated,
Like an un-kept yard.
But how do you appreciate the pain
When it tortures your soul,
Go as far as you can go
Keep going,
The destination is the journey
And you can’t look back now
When all is tumbling down-
Retract your footsteps.
Follow the tracks 
End up where you started-
And hopefully you have found what you lost-
Lost what you were running from
Just breathe.

The last line says it all for me ~ we get caught up in things and forget what is important. Namaste.

Good verse Sarah. Life happens and one has to learn to cope. If we go through life with a clenched fist, no one can ever put anything into it.
