Milestones

.

As one chapter ends and another starts

It brings with it a set of fresh promises

And hopes of a joyously iridescent future

To wipe away the memories of a foregone past

 

As the lost ship finds its way to the land

It knows neither the cruel waves nor the rains

But only the longing of the lovelorn shore

Seeking to unite with its beloved once more

 

And when the wounded soldier returns home

It isn’t the bullets that pierce his mind

Nor the landmines that maim his heart

But the call of his betrothed that draws him blind

 

Thus are the ways of this wondrous world

What drives men isn’t the quietly fading past

Though it stays buried deep inside their hearts

But the future and the possibilities it heralds

 

Carpe Diem…

Time is the best healer.

Alas.... It flows only in one direction, leaving only memories for us.

Wish you courage.
