Moving On
Moving On
I had a good cry
On this rainy dark day
All I love and hold dear
Is ripped out from under me
I try my best to be positive
And the negative creeps in
Centering thoughts
And silent meditation
Yoga, green tea, focus on breathing
The roles you play
Are not the roles you are
Thoughts are like clouds
Floating through your mind
They float in, stay a while
And then disappear, never linger
Don’t dwell on the past I’m told
Be like the clouds
Hold the thought and let it go
Don’t look behind you
You’re not going there
Move forward, love again
If no one else, then love yourself
No one can take that from you
If you’ve never loved deeply
You’ve not loved at all
Even when you risk losing
Such a soul journey with another
Play the roles in this game called life
But remember your spirit
What’s in your heart
And be true to yourself
You only have this life on earth
Grasp your opportunities
With both hands and hold on tight
Take a risk or two and have no fear
Don’t let this fear hold you back
Have adventures, be brave
And upon your deathbed
Your last words can be....
“I have lived, I have loved fiercely,
I have experienced wondrous adventures
I have been crazy and foolish at times
But I’m left with beautiful memories,
Yes, what I have loved and held dear
Has been ripped out from under me
But I moved on, loved again,
Created a new life for myself, no regrets”
As I look forward to my next exciting life...
