Layers of Life

Layers of morning-tinged clouds
air sweet and cool
new day dawning
filled with promise and opportunity
a chance to begin again

We need not hold on to the past
hopefully we learn from it
then let it go
free of regret
ready to begin again

Life is lived in layers
connected yet separate
we move through time
experience whatever
comes our way
with a unique individuality
then, like a morning star
fade away in the light
of a new day
