I Shall Not Dwell

I decided that I will not dwell on things past anymore...
Not in the friends that I lost
Not in the hands that I let go
Not in the things I did not say
Not even in the good times...
because they are in the past after all.

Is time, is about time that I move forward without
bringing the past with me, is time that I allow myself a clean slate
Is time for me to let go, and let God, and life, and wonder happen to me.
Time to sway and swirl and bask in the premise of what's to come.
Is about that time, time for life to happen.

So I'm opening the doors and windows of my heart
to let wonder, grace and love in.
Opening up my soul to new possibilities, to new dreams,
to new outcomes.
The hurt and anger from the past shall stay there, the jadedness
shall stay too.
I'll only allow myself to look back to revisit the lessons learned,
to remind myself the loads I'm not carrying anymore.

I'm just freeing myself of myself.
Of all my self-imposed burden,
of the things and of the people I refused
to let go of, but I'm letting go now,
no harsh feelings, no revenge in the plotting.
I'm just letting go because I've finally understood:
I have to.

I have to close chapters to begin new ones
I have to walk a new path if I want to arrive at a new destination
I have to walk out of the circle to actually have a journey
Because I really want to make the most out of this life,
of the time I'm giving and I truly believe I've wasted way too
much time and energy in things that are already dead,
so it's time to sow new things, different things so that I
may reap new and different things.

And to God be the glory I will :)
Thanks you Jesus, Thank you Lord please do not let me 
forget this feeling, this conviction with which I'm writing 
today, to let go and let you be you who are in my life, 
and lead me to where you want me. 
Amen.
