New Beginnings

Never know what lays unseen till you dare
Exit through the door I have feared so long
Weaving such a tale that has no compare

Beautiful destruction my life's theme song
Each time I boldly rise from the wreckage
Ghosts I thought laid to rest try to follow
Inattention quells their silent message
Not known to balk or in pity wallow
New cities and places excitation
Inside me grows, my soul's motivation
Needs constant motion without cessation
Great things are possible all in their time
Savoring all moments lightens the climb
