Resolution

Of course, across a lifetime, there are disappointments:

wrong choices of words or actions; misunderstandings,

misinterpretations, mistakes. I’m tired of old shadows

that belong to past, those I still drag into my days. Why

blight the present with regrets I’ve already entertained 

for too long. The next time they come to my door, they’ll

find it locked.

Better to be in the colour, light and life of now. To be

ravenous for all that is beautiful and uplifting, and be

sated. To be, all senses, full throttle; to shunt worries

up a siding, and be full express through the joys of life.

Life, the greatest gift, flies; I resolve now to fly in it.
