A New Chapter

As a new chapter begins,
  life takes on a new sparkle,
People become more
  important
    more carefully chosen,
A dance more liberating,
  an instrument to help shed
    the old skin,
Trust and love,
  more meaningful
    and more cautiously given,
Joy, more
  liberally added, 
    spicing up life with a
      smile and a laugh,
Chances more
  daringly taken,
    experience more strongly 
      applied,
My heart,
  bravely ready to
    try again,
To reach out and see
  if someone will reach back.
