By Hazel Nut
Allow the pain to linger but once…
For in the process you will know
You truly loved –
Have loved and must let go
And only until the ache is soothed
shall you find comfort in having to walk this road
And though there are no promises nor guarantees
That such road must lead to stillness
Allow the songs to bring you joy, but not sorrow
For it is in your solitude that the lyrics speak the loudest
Allow yourself to weep
Don’t throw thy memories but keep
Even the dullest days
Were better off than none
Allow emptiness to filter your heart
For new beginnings to evolve
Most metamorphosis occurs with such discomfort
Before a butterfly’s life unfolds
Allow the dimness of the moment
Reveal the questions left unanswered
For it is in these crevices in a cave
That the light shine through the brightest
Allow the places you’ve both been to
Be a hallmark of a love so young
And in the midst of tears and all
You’ll free the echoes of your soul
