Troubles Persist

There in the shadows of my mind,

I find the solace of yeterdays troubles.

They are long since gone and forgotten,

Yet it seems, they still linger on.

 

I but a simple person at best,

Never one to cause a fuss.

Still, troubles linger too long

And I must seek a cure all fix.

 

Better to let them pass

Than  to think of a solution.

The longer they persist

The tougher a solution will be.

yes, the 'letting go' is one of the greatest techniques, which is not so easy to use as it could be seen at first sight. Actually, it is the top-gun. Before we have achieved that level, there is nothing to do but to use what is at hand, as you suggest 'before too late.' Cheers, alex

It certainly seems that way. And some troubles we cause for ourselves seem to be the most stubborn to get rid of. But if we don't learn, we will repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Nobody knows the troubles I've seen.
