Memories that drench
your skin
in a coal black night…
Memories that crumble
you to the ground…
You can pack your boxes,
fill up your gas tank
or plug in the EV
and drive across country,
but those vivid scenes
and words that paint
bruises on your heart
will find your front porch.
They boast a built-in
navigation system,
so, it’s up to you –
freedom of choice.
You can let go.
Anything or anyone
unworthy
of your loyalty
won’t nest in your mind.
The road will be yours –
unending…
surrounded by beauty,
possibilities dancing,
the sky opening
around every curve
as Natasha Bedingfield sings
“Today is where
your book begins.
The rest is still unwritten.”
Choose wisely.
Do it for you…
because you are worthy.
In a Love World 
A powerful and liberating poem that speaks of memory, pain, and the ability to let go of what hurts us. It invites us to make conscious decisions, open ourselves to new possibilities, and write our own path, full of freedom and hope.
