Sometimes all you can do
Is take a deep breath
Look up to the moon
And accept the inevitability
Of the passing of love
Sometimes all you can do
Is look back to the life
As the stars shine on
And see the beauty there is
In moments of bliss
Sometimes all you can do
Is rest in the still night
Listen to the giggles
And appreciate lives you hold
In the palm of your hands
Sometimes all you can do
Is to sink into the gentle breeze
Let it take you across
The timeless memories
Into which the future will unfold
Sometime that is all you can do

This poem is about acceptance. There is wisdom to be found in accepting that of which we have no control. Unlike resignation, there is peace in choosing to accept. It contains the positive energy of creation and transformation.
So it is that this post is a linkup for Silver Threading and RonovanWrites “Writers Quote Wednesday Writing Challenge” – prompt theme being ‘wisdom’.
