RIP My Past

We all have moments in life that we wish memories do not come back or the same events not to repeat. If this happen, at one point of our journey, we will be free to move on, walk further and maybe, on a higher level.

————

RIP my past. I buried you 

under a deep layer of dust.

I’m not lighting a candle

for farewell goodbye.

I’ll save it to light my path

into my bright future.

I adore my face

with sparkles in my eyes,

a happy smile,

And butterflies

weaved in my hair.

RIP my past.

Not because 

you are bad or wrong,

But because

I need a new start, 

new pulse 

and new air to breath

free from rust and debris.

RIP my past.

I grew up, my childhood.

I grew up, my youth.

I am an adult.

The truth is, I have no regrets.

Let all mistakes

stay in the dark.

RIP memories of my old loves, 

and welcome the new one

that will make me glow;

that will make me fly 

on the wings of my dreams

and sing a song 

with a written verse

that is whispered

from another distant universe.
