letting go

“Do not remember the former
         things,
   or consider the things of old.”  Isaiah 43:18

we spend so much
time wandering
   the maze of our past
and replaying
   the words covered in dust,
   the hurts scabbed with grudges,
   the people who cling
      so stubbornly
      to our souls, we
cannot turn and see
the gate marked ‘future’
standing wide open,
just for us.
