The Two Banks: Memories and Dreams

- Best Balance between the Past and the Future

By Dawnxisoul393artPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In the realm of rain's

gentle embrace

I find solace

a tranquil space

Its rustling whispers

a flowing river's song

Guide me from the past

where memories belong

To my left

the bank of yesteryears

A canvas of moments

joys, and tears

Perfect memories etched

upon its shore

Reminders of what

I've experienced before

But on the right

the bank of dreams

A future beckons

bursting at the seams

It calls to me

worthy of pursuit

A path where

my passions take root

The river flows serenely

between the two

A conduit of life

steadfast and true

Its calm current

washes away my fears

As I tread the waters

undeterred by tears

Loneliness

once a constant companion

Now dissipates

vanishing like the candlelight

For in your company

I find respite

Guiding me forward

with love as my light

Through the misty veil

clarity appears

The road ahead

unburdened by my fears

Your presence, a compass

that points the way

A beacon of hope

in each passing day

Together we navigate

this winding stream

With trust and faith

our hearts agleam

Your hand in mine

we carve a destiny

A future entwined

where love sets us free

No longer shall I walk

a solitary path

For you're the one

who quells my heart's wrath

In rain's gentle rustle

our symphony plays

A duet of love

harmonizing our days

So let the rain continue

its sweet refrain,

As we dance through life

unbound by chain

With you by my side

the journey is clear

Embracing the future

without a trace of fear

In the rustling sound of rain

we find our song

A melody

that carries us along

Together we'll flow

forever entwined

In the river of life

our souls aligned
