THE PAST WILL BE PRESENT
HEALING FROM INFIDELITY
When one tries to explain
all the misery and pain,
reflections of heartbreak
come back again and again.
Wallowing in the past
comes easy for all
who fall akin to the devil
and beckon his call.
Although misery and pain
and the devil’s refrain
are present and constant
and easily explained,
it’s courage and laughter
that crush his terrain.
Guilts– stuck in the web
of a torturous past– have
destroyed many tomorrows
until one day … the last.
Darkest before dawn
the sun can appear
the devil retreat
and the web disappear.
The past will be present
but the present will pass
for the sunshine from above
will free us at last.
