A lesson to learn

Is it the end of an era or the beginning of something new?
Is the glass half empty or is it half full?
How can you smile when all you feel is sadness?
How do you embrace optimism when floating in a sea of pessimism?
How should you move forward when your shadow is lost in your past?

But you have to keep moving ahead for nothing lies in the past
It will taunt you, torment you and keep pulling you back….
Forcing you to cower in the comfort of all things familiar….
but at the end it’s a chasm
A pit of things that were and will never again be
Times that were and will never again be
Memories that were and will soon fade away, one fragment at a time
Until all that’s left is vagueness in the mind….

For even the sun, as it sets, doesn’t weep on leaving the horizon
He shines his rays, gloriously till nightfall
Hopeful, knowing
Tomorrow awaits my glow

But how do we move forward with chains in our feet?

Liberate yourself
Free your soul from all attachments for there only lies one truth
We came alone and so will we leave
One life, one soul, alone
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes…
