THE THOUGHTS THAT ATTACH

I‘m looking for the pain
I can’t find it in all its usual hiding places
I go inside, check again
the box of fears, the memory full spaces
But I can’t find the rain.

Letting go of the thoughts that attach
Not every perfect catch is a perfect match
I cannot find the pain.

BADLY

I‘m hurting so badly
It’s driving me mad
And making me sad
I’ll take the bend gladly.

Poems from the inner river

FOREVER IS A LAND OF GOODBYES

One of the most beautiful things
I have found
Is to be able to let go of the past
And move on –
But never forget the past.

I love every pain
Every joy
Every regret and remorse
Every parting and every loss
Every victory and every memory

For by the very act of going
They left something with me
That will live in me forever…
Forever is a land of goodbyes
And new beginnings.
