New Lifescapes

The storm is colliding with thunderheads outside your door,
This fierce knock and pounding n’er figure into your streaming world.
The Rising Sun filters through
those clouds,
While arrays of light send a majestic calm and scent, 
Of a soft and comfortable pillow. 
It’s a time to begin anew, 
A brand new scope on life,
Something of a reckoning that you never felt in your skin and bones. 
This is true for all our hearts and minds. 
A first step, 
A friendly wave, 
A beautiful smile settles nerves.
A big leap forward,
A positive comment,
A hug to release the tension,
A friend who brings you joy,
A talk to a distant friend or relative that brings you back to your childhood,
A brand new look at your life.
It’s in these instances that absolutely and unequivocally,
Mend our minds and touch our beautiful souls.
