The past is all done.
The future is open sky.
The present is all I have
• • •
Let go of your hurts.
Let go of bleeding wounds.
Let go of bitter defeats.
Let go of your triumphs.
Let go of being right.
Let go of owning her (his) body.
You were perfect already
before you were born,
and so was everyone else.
Once it sinks in
how enormous you are,
the sky becomes endless,
and so does your heart.
• • •
The past is a painting
by an old master's hand.
The future is possibility,
completely undefined.
The present is
a beautiful evening.
I think I am going
to dance tonight.
