Daily Decisions To New Beginnings

As the seconds of your life turn from months to years 
And the restless whispers of your unfulfilled dreams awake you 
There remains a distant glimpse of your former true self 
The self that was inspired by dew drops in the early morning
The longing looks of circumventing lust transforming to love 
The passionate embraces thrusting to complete satisfaction
and the forgotten imagination that awaits its resurrection 
A daily decision whether to remain condemned to this reality 
or create the clear escape to the soul's freedom 
Yet the decision is convoluted by fears and inhibitions 
Thoughts of failure and rejection perpetuated by the masses 
And so I will fall asleep tonight with a new thought troubling me
But what I do tomorrow will either be my rebirth or a continued cycle
