pray for the wisdom,
for the strength to view the truth,
now what’s here before your eyes
and really is ultimately sheer proof,
an enlightening of visions within the soul,
reflected in our orbs’ mirrors,
feel the heartbeats within me,
wouldn’t you, didn’t you know?
understanding that we all
have tales,
winding, rivers of secrecy
and shires to explore?
but these are to no avail.
sometimes they’re better left untouched,
unasked,
unexplored,
allow the breaths of yesteryears
remain quietened,
if they happen to speak?
best they’re ignored.
we all benefit from personal growth
and mistakes if we treat them well,
didn’t you already know?
