Clutter...

CLUTTER

Cleaning out the chaos...
...in my mind

Clearing out the confusion...
...in my heart

Discarding the debris...
...in my life

Packing into boxes

Putting into storage
artifacts of yesterday

Yesterday's treasures
bundled away

to accommodate
tomorrow riches

Yesterday's accolades
in storage

to make room
for tomorrow's visions

Yesterday's sorrows
packed away

to lend the added strength
for new risks

No place for the past
in the future

except...
...as experiences
...as lessons
...as growth charts
...as modifying tools

Packing away
the clutter of the past

memories...

...only memories
...the impeccable,
...the blemished,
...the indifferent,
...the repressed

Putting into storage
the clutter of the past
