The Chant

Each sunrise sets its battle stance
Placing pawns to create the dance
Arming souls with different tools
Pulling strings on these puppet fools
With no plans as we race up against
Emotions that build a life's defense
Trying to contain in a tiny circle
Dreams praying for a simple miracle
Lonely hearts seek a friendly chant
Lovers search for a promised grant
Families bind standing against the wail
Each recording their life upon its tale
Tomorrow is unseen and bids us well
Today laughs as it begins its swell
Yesterday shows the way for us to avoid
What destroys a life that truly enjoyed
Your hand in mine as we face the present
The past is but a tattered cloth remnant
Ever forward as we never look back
With faith, we're on the correct track

Thank you.

I think the most poignant line in this is
"The past is but a tattered cloth remnant"
You've reminded me that life is what you chose to make it and we should try and take each day as it comes, not lapse into old routines and fears.
Great work
