I threw some wishes up in the sky
Some came down in the form of dew
I wished some old habits goodbye
Each day then became as good as new
I stopped turning back again and again
To see the road I was leaving behind
Some memories felt betrayed and vain
Past tenses can play tricks on the mind
Autumn leaves continued to fall and rust
The tree stood strong awaiting spring
The sheer tenacity the absolute trust
Showed off miracles a future can bring
I embraced my imperfections and moved on
Some stars were laughing from above
I only had to learn, not live from what’s done
I did not need disapproval I only needed love
I gathered the flowers the dew was garden-fresh
Even as desires crumbled in my fist
I kept just one thing – gratitude – to refresh
I had grasped the art of living in a gist
Thank you
