Rest In Peace

"We are sorry for your loss;

May God give you strength;

Stay healthy in body and mind;

Everything will become fine;

Time is the biggest healer."

I have heard it many times,

Have even said this to many.

Let us not dwell in the past.

Whatever has occurred rests there,

Let them be buried beneath us.

Can we change our earlier issues?

We cannot do anything today.

We are too late to mend the past.

Let it remain only in memory.

It's too risky to wake it now.

The past memories are a blend;

It's about good, sad, or bad ones.

In The sky of shattered souls,

Or in heart-wrenching decisions.

It was lying in the anguish of mind,

Probably in dead relationships,

Or within delicate alliances,

Or in deceit, lies, or fantasies?

Even in the grieving of loved ones,

There lays the sadness of the past.

We cling to yesterdays' images,

Not even letting it go from our minds.

We are incapable of walking a little ahead,

Afraid of leaving our past in the past.

Letting go of the past has turned grim.

What is wrong with our damn brains?

We cannot amend the past mistakes,

We can simply observe from a length,

And keep moving on to the next day.

We cannot change them at any cost,

Why do we try and cry over that?

We fret and overthink frequently,

Be assured it will not get restored,

Only time will mend the broken ends.

Remember not to make the same blunder; 

Whatever happens in life has a reason,

Take the path to unravel the meaning,

But delaying the journey will cause distress.

Clear the clouds of disappointment early,

It will hurt less while recalling the past.

It's time to turn in another direction,

To get over the wreck of yesterday.

Everybody has a mysterious past,

Some like to push it to a dark nook. 

Others drown miserably in it.

But don't get wrapped in the fantasies,

Which seems dreamy in the future.

Be happy and enjoy the day for now.

Today is in your hands, no matter what.

Push out the negative thoughts of the past,

Do not weave rosy dreams of the future.

Let bygones be bygones with a smile.

It's time to start anew from today.

Let our past visions Rest In Peace,

Do not awake mistakes from your grave,

We are really heartbroken for you.

Saying goodbye is painful for us,

Yet, we have to act sensibly now.

If we have to be happy today,

We need to start moving on at the earliest.
