The Weight of Yesterday

Posted on March 9, 2023 by Penny Wilson Writes



View the world 
without the weight 
of yesterday 

a feat most
difficult 

It clouds the vision
and dulls the heart

We struggle to
shrug off the past
to clear our vision

The weight of the world 
is burdensome enough

without dragging the past 
with us
through life
