DREGS OF THE PAST

UP IN SMOKE

We can't keep on drinking the dregs of the past, 
it starts to get bitter as it rots in the flask,
whatever we store is like a river that grows,
it collects even more wherever it flows.

Bigger and darker it consumes our being,
blocking the way we should be seeing,
we cannot pretend that is not there,
it will take us on paths where things are unfair.

We need to bring it into the light,
to take away its power and might,
once we see clearly we lose all our fear,
there is lots of help to dry every tear.

We must move forward with deep understanding,
lose the guilt and regrets that are so demanding,
all worries and fears are consumed by the light,
as we are guided into fresh new insight.
