New Beginnings

Lost deep within the dark forests of doubt Searching for the simplicities of a perfected life Fountain overflowing with the curiosity of my infinite thoughts The thought of happiness has always eluded me Troubles of my yesterday burning up in flames. Drowning in the purity of clear waters Carried within the tides of new beginnings The flashbacks from the past are haunting me Their voices glitter among the city lights Each word shining brighter than before. Give me the warmth The softest touch of love The comfort of the smiles of a heart that was once broken The strength of the wings of a bird that has fallen. Silence broken by the screams that once brought inner peace Enhance in me the spirit to be ignorant to the cold winter days The spirit wise enough to see nature’s wonders Wonders which has been portrayed in its beautiful ways.
