I lay down on the prairies
Eyes filled with no emotions, no feelings
Gazing at the stars
Up above the worldly skies
Dead or alive, I am, I know not
For dust of my past
Has layered on my present
I tried my saline solution
But could not remove the dusty stains
With me, winds blow hard to mourn
Weeping Willows weep in pain
Shrubs and bushes swoosh back and forth
As I lay still on this pale green earth
Dew drops in my eyes
Flow out as tears
Not reaching my pale face
But merging with my knotted hair
No more voices speak to me
No other human soul in touch with me
For I’ve cut myself from the human race
Leading my life at my own pace
Searching vision sees no trail
Heartbeats no more, doesn’t matter at all
As I wait eagerly for the past to stay in past
And make no contact with my confused present
We learn from our past
Yet history is almost, always repeated
I am as it is confused
Can someone tell me, then
What will now be different?
I made mistakes I shall not repeat
I tell myself and yet am scared
I know I learnt from the past
& yet some mistakes repeatedly I commit
Rule of thumb, I should follow
Often I hear…
Forgive and forget
Do your best and leave the rest
To the power dwelling in the Milky Way
So, I close my eyes
Ask the powers above for forgiveness
I get all the signs
Winds are blowing playing lullabies
Weeping Willows weeps no more
The plants are dancing to melodies
Sung by heavenly guardian angels
Sent by God just for me
I stand up alive
Heart suddenly found dying vein
Pumping overwhelming feelings
As I now sit on the prairies
With wide open eyes
Glaring at the worldly skies
But not to mourn or cry
But to be thankful of getting another chance
To do it right again
Still somewhere back of me
There is a slight shadow following
It’s my past mistakes
Clinging tight to me
As I try hard to get it off of me
My hearts starts to bleed
Shadow just quietly shouted
In my ears of conscious
You are forgiven by God
God even forgot what you did
But can you do this for yourself?
Forgive and forget
All the mistakes you made
And, sorry you are from the bottom of your heart
Stop it, can you?
And, never let the past
Haunt you ever again?
Can you do it?
But tell me not, convince yourself.
