Riverside Paean
The ropes lie loose at your feet,
no longer tied to anything,
releasing you
for the journey ahead,
no longer shackles,
but a part of history,
pain sharp and crippling, until
finally let go, and now
it flows like the ancient brown river
that drifts past you,
drawing you ever and ever
onward.

unshackled... is the way to go forward.
Hi Tom,
Letting go of pain or leaving it behind as one moves forward is a good place to begin.
