In the shadows of yesterday's embrace
Lies the weight of a past we must face
Patterns etched in the sands of time
Hold us captive, in rhythm and rhyme
Yet within us, a spark yearns to ignite
To break free from the chains, take flight
A whisper of hope, a gentle call
To release the burdens, let them fall
The mind, a garden of thoughts untamed
Can shift and change, never the same
Perception, a lens through which we see
The world anew, where we can be free
Why hold onto pain, to what no longer serves?
When joy awaits, in life's gentle curves
The here and now, a gift to embrace
To dance with the present, at our own pace
Old patterns, like leaves, wither and fade
Making room for the new, unafraid
The spirit, a river, flowing with grace
Guides us to a brighter, boundless space
Let go of the past, its heavy chains
For in release, only freedom remains
The heart, unburdened, beats with delight
In the present moment, taking flight
The journey begins with a single shift
A change in mindset, a precious gift
To free the spirit, to soar and explore
A life of abundance, forevermore
So, open your heart, let the old ways go
Embrace the now, let your true self show
For in the present, joy is found
In the here and now, we are unbound
