I Got a New Life

I got a new life - A life to write  More not less than Giving in-sight... Having decided   To guide the pen Page by page  Making new friends... With letters and words, Thoughts and ideas Of people and places Distant and near... Enough to recall From a deep ink well Inside my head Striving to spell... Letter by letter Word by word I got a new life Like a sweet song bird... Lifting me up  To a higher realm Where the sky is clear Devoid of sound... Where dreams are made And come alive Like painting on pallet New words arrive... Filling blank pages As leaves of grass  I got a new life I think might last... Lost and alone  Don't call my name While dancing in shadows  Where mystery plays... Tricks on the mind And mirrors of the soul Reflections that shine Like silver and gold... Seeking fortune and freedom   From clouds to waves A writing life Is what I've made.
