Let go

Beware the cruelty
The utter cruelty
Where once loomed an ocean of longing
Rules now the debris of memories
The daily tramplings of the moon
Dispersing now the flotsam of desires
A new dawn brings the cleansing light
Filling the mind with other thoughts
The slate is being wiped clean
And replaced with other emotions
Other dreams other ideas
But still a whiff of the past
Brings about an instant yearn
Of what could have been but isn't
Igniting the spirit and the body
But sadly, such thoughts are becoming so fleeting
As fleeting
As a glimpse of a falling star.
