Leave It Be...



When all you knew is now not true
Questions raised
Leaving hollow wounds weeping through
The warmer layers of nostalgia
A sense of cold could grip on tight
But leave it be 
Because as much as you might
Need or yearn
To understand 
To learn
Hunting reason today will not
Answer what came before
It's too damn jumbled
Confused to restore
Leave the past where it's meant to be
Distant, faded 
and 
Solitary

Step right back
Sit on your heels
Watch the ripples of the murky past
Collide, progress but gradually still
Don't stir them more
The feelings won’t last
Another day, another time
That puddle will be just calm
A brownish lake of some
Past mistake


Stirring that now will cloud the colours
That wash over the day you’re in
A burning brightness that
Breathes within
Tugging on that thread of thought
Will not satisfy your heart or mind
But leave you empty, fraught or
Senselessly caught
Asking more and more
Trying to fathom what came before


Journeys of life bring us here
Shape our responses
Mold our now
To revisit something just to understand
To change the track
By looking way back
Would be a one way ride to doom
And you’ve returned
 Survived


Come
Leave the past 
Let it be

Distant, faded 
and 
Solitary
Journeys are just 
What they are meant to be

And you've arrived
Just in time 
You're not too soon
And
It's not too late
In fact some may say 
It's
Probable Fate



 You are right where you're meant to be. 
So keep walking along this meandering track, 
looking forward and not once turning back...
