In the shadows of yesterday we often dwell
Clinging to echoes in a familiar shell
Yet, what if the past, with its comforting hue
Is merely a veil, obscuring the new?
Let go of the chains that bind you tight
For beyond the horizon lies your true light
The paths that diverged, the dreams that slipped
Were not meant to anchor, nor to be gripped
They were lessons, whispers in the night
Guiding you gently towards your rightful flight
For every door closed, another swings wide
Inviting you to step inside
Why hold onto fragments of what once was?
When the universe, in its infinite cause
Has plans far greater than you can see
A tapestry woven with your destiny
Release the burden, the weight of the past
And embrace the journey, vast and unmasked
The heartache, the failures, the roads not taken
Were not to leave you broken or forsaken
But to steer you clear of paths untrue
To lead you to the wonders awaiting you
For every tear shed, a seed is sown
In the garden of dreams, where you are grown
Like autumn leaves that gracefully descend
Their purpose fulfilled, they make way for the trend
Of new beginnings, fresh and bright
In the cycle of life, where all is right
Trust in the process, the ebb and flow
For in letting go, you truly grow
The universe whispers, in gentle tones
That what is meant for you, will never be gone
Release the grip, and open your heart
To the endless possibilities, a brand new start
For what awaits is a life so grand
Crafted by fate’s loving hand
Embrace the new dawn, with open arms
Let the past be a memory, free of alarms
For in the letting go, you’ll find your way
To a future that’s brighter, day by day
So, step forward, with courage and grace
And discover the beauty of your destined place
