The Sweet Sourness of Life

departures

closures

endings

days gone by

doors closed, forever

impressions from the past floating back into consciousness

cycles

farewells

hope and new beginnings

dreams shattered

dreams seeded

new encounters

the sweet pang of nostalgia knocking on the heart’s door

memories drifting past

ruptures

things lost

people lost

failures

discouragement

roads closed

aborted stories

acceptance

clear vision

openness

gratitude

trust

abundance

my cup is full

welcoming the ever renewed gift of life

a sweet warmth in my throbbing heart

expansion

encompassing the whole world

the whole life

beyond time

chest too small for the burst of love

letting go

surrendering

generosity

melting within

the dance of past, present and future

grace, grace, grace

entire past landscapes

sliding aside like a decor

the big theater of life

summed up in one instant

one glowing instant

with a heart wide open

treasures offered

people gone or still here

their spirit, still present

all to accompany me
