Wispering Winds

Whispers in the wind calling out to me again...
Leave behind your baggage. Shed your tattered skin.
No more standing at the crossroads. Time for your new journey to begin.
The friends who have become kin in your heart shall they stay.
Say your goodbyes. Then turn and walk away.
Time to write a new chapter. Time to stand on your own.
Hear me out Dear One. You now are grown.
No longer are you captive. The caged bird has been set free.
Fear not the edge of reality. Trust your once broken wings.
New places to see. People you must meet.
Forgive those transgressions against you. Shake the dust from your feet.
Your lamp is eternal. Your home lies ahead.
Soar like an eagle. No fear. No dread.
Cry not over the past woes of life.
Karmic debt collected. Payed for with strife.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes and the encouraging words. I am really excited to have found a site that allows me to put my work for the world to see. I have had a few poems published years ago. Mostly through poetry contests. I was nominated for Who's Who of International Poets a while back also. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and exploring your works. ?
