Gail Says ....

As she walks down the hallway 
shutting each door she passes

Because it's time

Time to lock away the past.
Walk away from the bad memories,
step into the future

Face it unbowed, unflinching,
prepared to fight
for the right to smile
every day.

A bunch of keys
tossed into the surf
losing the past forever.
Each footprint erased 
by the tide,
inviting a journey 
into the uncharted.
