a new time
Do not fret the past
and the decisions
that were made.
Gone
are the troubles and anxieties
which sprouted
from roots untamed and unkempt.
Born anew
is the soul
as it is sweetened
with the honey of fresh,
true
and deep love.
The past
is but a shield
protecting the soul
from being embraced
in a display of affection,
an affection
that brings forth healing.
Naked,
stand before
the present and the future,
shedding the clothing
of days long ago.
