One Word
Life
begins
with innocence and love,
yielding
later to a journey
fraught with joy, pain, and sorrow;
oftentimes with self-inflicted haunting
and regret.
Time
takes over;
behind
lie the ruins of yesterday,
burdens carried forward
~ the past stays with us ~
as obstacles flung ahead,
all scarring the path.
What chance have we to overcome?
We carry our pasts with heavy hearts,
we walk uncertainly forward;
as a delicate line
demarcates
old habits from new resolutions;
a fragile distinction,
an invisible thread
can hold you to it:
one word
for you,
one word
changes everything
