There is something to be said
For shaking off the last relationship and
Being done with it.
Feeling free to begin again
And wondering who is just around the corner
Who will you bump into
That you would not have noticed before
Because your eyes and your skies
Were too full
Of him who is now
Not really even worth mentioning...
Mr what was his name again?
Time to thank him
For the lessons learned
And move forward to the next adventure
Knowing something better lies ahead...
Something beautiful.
Such a wonderful thing to feel whole-hearted again.
Almost embarrassed to admit
It has been a while
Since I had myself together
Since I had not given some part of me to someone
Who was in no position to care for it properly.
Safety check
Heart
Mind
Body
Soul...
Yep, all intact.
Tomorrow is a brand new journey and
I do not have room in my backpack for postcards from yesterday.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.
