A Hymn for the Present

With all the things I've learned
Where is the calm I've earned?
Just waiting for this abstract thing
To tell me when I'm done

The hardest thing of all
Is letting go the times you fall
Hold no grudges, feel no hate
A lay your soul to rest

One must try not to dwell in what has been
But the past has found its way into my skin
The parasites descends upon what's usually pure
And it leaves holes in us, it breeds the insecure

It's eating at my conscience
It's eating at my patience
And its acid is corroding my core
If I am to keep this
And if I treasure it
I need to remind myself of this

When love breaths, it weaves our dreams in joyful air
When hate thrives, love dies

Not even our deepest scars
Is worth a moment behind bars
Free yourself from all the things
You cannot ever change

The suffering of clinging tight
To always struggle and to fight
Will not ever bring us peace
If we are not at ease

Every moment is potential for something new
But rare occasions where we use them are too few
Gazing backwards with a foot still in the past
Forgetting to live this life, live it while it lasts

It's eating at our conscience
It's eating at our patience
And its acid is corroding our core
If we are to keep this
And if we treasure it
We need to remind ourselves of this

When love breaths, it weaves our dreams in joyful air
When hate thrives, love dies

"This is the last time I ever waste any energy on you - My anxious, frustrated and painful past.
In a self-tormenting fashion I have attended to you for a far too long time, but not anymore!
I choose life in all its entirety – To let the good, the bad and the ugly flow through me without ever escaping again
From all the chaos and suffering, from all the anger and despair - this free and much stronger soul is born"

When love breaths, it weaves our dreams in joyful air
When hate thrives, love dies

When love breaths, it weaves our dreams in joyful air
When hate thrives, love dies
