Reveries
My past is long- over and done,
it is just yesterdays sad tears;
all my memories kept are things of a past life,
the present is a brand new day;
a path to beginning,
now I live for moments !
This life can be so beautiful,
with nature splendid and lovely;
and life experiences utterly divine,
yet, merciless at times this life;
harsh words can be brutal,
heartless, cruel- evil !
I have mammoth thoughts in my mind,
big ideas swirling around;
the world is a vast place with opportunities,
yet, I must take just baby steps;
for I am inconsequential,
a small trivial speck !
I take wisdom from the wise aged,
from the old writers and poets;
and from my own broken winding journey thus far,
but, the new me is different;
I am working on unique,
for a fresh better me !
