Springs and Streams

.
The ghosts of our past
  follow us wherever we go;
    we carry them with us, even
      as we run to new abodes where
        we only make more.
All running accomplishes
  is leaving behind the haunts
    that bring back to mind spirits of
      hurt we'd just as soon in the desert
        leave to forever die.
Even as the cause of pain
  no longer darkens this earth,
    as we let it, as we so choose, its
      power breathes inside us and keeps
        us from moving on.
God commands we forget
  all former things, that we look
    only on the new He is busy doing,
      making springs and streams to carry
        us to wonderlands anew.*
Let go! Go with His flow!
 

Isaiah 43:18-19

*God gives us access to the power to
accomplish this...His Holy Spirit living
in us...turn away from the past and turn
toward the power that wants to carry you
away on the rush of a joyous present and
a wondrous future
