The following lines are written on the prompts given by The Sunday Whirl (wordle 41) and Three Word Wednesday (3WW CCLVII). The three words this week are: detach, jolt, surge.
I stroll in Present's green field,
Protecting my permeable heart with pretence's shield.
I try to extinguish the flames of regret,
By freezing those moments that, anguish, beget.
I make an effort to detach Present from Past,
Forgetting that footprints left behind, forever, last.
And then, a fortuitous jolt brought with it the portrayal,
Of a startling revelation, halting this self-betrayal.
Enslaving yesterday's shocks with redemption and acceptance,
As I learnt, is the key to serenity and a blissful trance.
This surge of optimism and advice, divine,
Was a breath of fresh air that made me shine.
Now, i walk this earth sans pessimism's horn,
As a new, peaceful me is born.

Amber, a nice use of the wordle words. I like how you took "frozen" and wrote "By freezing those moments that, anguish, beget." And how you ended with "born". A lovely poem about optimism.
