Moving on

Don't look at what might have been,
should have been,
or could have been!
Look at what is still to be!

There may be a situation in which someone comes to you to break off a relationship. Allow that break to occur. Don't keep hanging on. Don't keep trying to mend fences that are twelve-foot-high stone walls. Don't keep revisiting the relationship in your heart, looking for a way back in. Allow the break to happen.
And then, move forward.

scattered sand

i never thought i would grasp so tight,
yet watch as it trickled out
my hands white from clutching, couldn't make it stay longer
i watched as yet another bird, flew wild and forgotten
almost a ghost of my imaginations, yet surreal in my fascination
i watched as i chased a bitter dream
i screamed my war song and beat my chest
a hollow sound it made, a sound haunting me till this day
i danced around in circles, my feet scattering the white sand
drawing a scattered tale, tangling my built castle
yet, i danced on, into the night till the very next day
i danced and danced
the scattered sands still mock me, as i start another journey
my feet, raw and callused from the marks as i danced
almost too hard to forget
my angst at yet another scattered dream
my remorse at the scattered sand ...
