A prayer


Have you ever heard a song and instantly you were taken back? Do you often smell a certain scent, for me its cloves and pumpkin pie, and a smile beckons yours lips into that sweet curve? Do you find your thoughts traveling to the past more than the future, or present time? I never knew it was possible to have so many regrets at my age, but i stand here inevitably correcting myself.... over and over again.
That song replays in my head-there goes another memory, a thought stricken with happier times, and tinges of sadness....
It never ceases to amaze me the longer we as human beings have to live in the moment but so few of us actually do.
I don't quite understand who i am or what the hell I'm doing with my life, or why my past is filled with what my life has been up to this point.... Will it make sense someday? I miss my past... I'm unable to let it go, and i SO desperately need to. Its a new chapter, its a new day...... Why do i hold on to those songs, smells, and memories? Grant me the strength and courage to break free from the chain of my own restraint, and move on with my life.... Amen
