Sweeping Up the Past – A Poem About Letting Go of Failures and Mistakes

Sweeping up the shattered shards of old, unfulfilled dreams,
He smiled,
Knowing that what he’d been searching for
Had stood right in front of him all along –
He’d just needed the courage
To reach out and grasp it,
To release his grip on the past,
Open up his hands,
And let it shatter upon the floor.
