Awaken
Today is a new day
How I long for the new
Wondering what life has in
store
A journey for me and you
The sun did set on yesterday
And awakened a new morn
The past behind us
Leaving aches and thorns
Now a warm summer sun
Beams glistening on a river bed
And peaceful dreams swarm my
mind
When I lay down my head
The stars sparkle brighter
The night air captures my soul
And in every captivating
moment
You play a roll
As I take a deep breath
Smell the lingering of your
scent
Imprinted in my memory
From time together we spent
The crickets began to chirp
Birds begin to sing
In a collaborative chorus
Overwhelming joy they bring
So what is this new path
Full of light, joy and spark
A guided way out
From a path of dark
Am I really here
Or is this a dream
Full of oceans and lakes
Rivers and streams
Not everything is perfect
This we all know
We all have a past
And have to reap what we sow
But a new path we walk
Though may not be perfect and
smooth
But I'll walk hand in hand
Down any path with you
