Rock, Paper, Scissors

A rock of courage cascades down a mountain of hope, 

Gathering momentum as it rolls over new seedlings of truth,

Antithesizing the stories of agony scripted on wilted paper

It crushes these fetal trees to a pulp,

Milling fresh pages for a new chapter,

A hopeful pair of scissors cuts loose the binding that holds the mistakes of the past.

To be replaced with my lessons learned in this novel called life
