Let them be
A chapter in the book Reflections For The New Day
Bygones
by Jewell McChesney
One first must stop the lie to reveal the truth which frees the soul.
I reached deep within myself
to pull reluctantly on a wounding memory With a tight clenched fist Proverbial fingernails broke through The skin of my core existence I hesitated to reveal tormenting truth Certain it would only bring more agony A deep desire overcame the moment Wanting to shred it apart like old news Into a million unrecognizable pieces Once surfaced from hidden depths I beheld the pain with newly opened eyes Years ago the burial kept it down A bitter stench reminded me it was dead |
Recognized |
The pain of the past is dead. I am healed, knowing all things can work for good.
The truth will set you free.
