Forgive & Forget

In a moment forgive
In a lifetime forget
Upon a dream release
Those things which haunt
Unseen
Yet somehow known
Despite the darkness which shrouds;
Shadows have weight.

Innocence cocooned
Split to reveal
A butterfly to become
Despite nature's attempt to delay
Took flight immature
Survival It's quest
Weakened wings made it to the horizon
And what lay beyond;
The light strengthens.

Eyes look now
Look past
In a moment remember
Take a second, no
A delayed moment to reminisce
Decide
Tis best to forgive
In a lifetime of forget-me-nots
And dreams which beg for flight
Upon midnight wings
To a place of no regret;
The weight lifts.

Maturity walks into the present
Accepts It's past
Calms It's soul and listens
Learns...
