Calming Of The Ghosts

by Muse

[WVox Sponsor]

Age Group: Adult



We cannot erase the past;
We can merely make peace...
With those no longer in our lives,
the bittersweet sorrows of what we could have done differently - what we would have said
how we should have reacted.

But the past is not the moment we live in.
The fears and pain we feel are ghosts that haunt our waking moments...
that torment our sleeping hours...
Unless we release them.
Unless we face them.
Unless we forgive them.
We remain unwhole and incomplete.
We cannot change.
We remain in a lingering state of bitter hatred.
Left wanting and wishing...
in a state of chaotic dispair.

Until we breathe the breath of acceptance.
Until we realize that today is a new day.
Until we realize we can surrender to those ghosts.
Until we can give our fears a name...
and release their depressing grips.

Know peace and the stillness of the moment.
Or, no peace and no stillness of the future.
