Let them be
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

Author Notes
The pain of the past is dead. I am healed, knowing all things can work for good.
The truth will set you free.
