Poets New Year
Your heart is falling before the sun rise.
Arms out, fingers stretched,
memories streaming from your eyes.
Strength is not what will cause you to fly.
Discover a wellspring,
change, love, and learn to say goodbye.
Fear is the shadow of happiness,
Welcome him,
and sooth him with a gentle kiss.
Life's journey pierces like shards of glass
Spilling blood,
cleansing wounds for souls outcast.
So lost in the dark of your own design
our choices decided,
but destiny's path is yours to refine.
Life has thousands of trials down this road,
especially the artist,
we travel by our own reckless code.
The beauty of this story for me and for you,
is each terrible ending
is clearing a path for the exciting and new.
No matter present or past the future is clear
spread your wings and soar,
toward sweet new beginnings in a fresh new year.
