Nothing is lost

Nothing is really lost, merely recycled.
Your trash, thoughts, friends, and foes.
All that you consider old,
every dream past expiration,
even your failed aspirations,
your past life, and the current one, too.

All moves from one state to the other,
Transmuted gold from mud made.
Recycle your heart and mind,
But let's hope your soul remains.
