Best Beginnings Poems

We hadn't planned his birth like this...
Taking breaths as I was taught, 
the pain dissolved my gallant front
and tears have come from eyes squeezed shut

I heard a voice unlike my own
The room is filled with some concern
I groan, the doctor takes a turn
Quick-fire decision, a...

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
 
As the bitter Northern wind howled in the grey early morn,
Sat a young child half frozen, looking sad and forlorn,
He came from a rundown broken home, with 6 siblings,
Where there was little money, no hope and poor beginnings.

Rob always sat on the...

Never before have I found such euphoria 
Entering into this new phase of life,
Where God has taught me to love and be loved;

Basking in the warmth of such exciting 
Experience, I give my all, looking unto God for His 
Gentle guidance as I tread unknown...

Endings or beginnings, there's reason for change
circling around me, are seasons, rearranged
As we say farewell to our place in the sun
Goodbye to our cove on the beach and the fun,
but hello to the chores, and sweeping leaves by the door

With the first icy fingers ,...

The words we speak in poesy,
Dance through the pages of history;
All the verses and all the rhymes,
Take all of us into more pensive times.
Where trickle of words that flow from pen,
Bring us from beginning down to the end;
But in between there are stories to tell,
That...

I rode a star to catch a cloud, 
which told me, how the sky was made.

The magic wand that birthed it, sang it into being; 
each note, danced it into place.

From one lone star, there arose Gaia’s precious face; 
her fertile womb, delivered me, into...

The eve of beginnings, of new hope and belief

As the January  month awakens from sleep

Creeping her way the new year unfolds

With optimistic magic for what she will hold

The pen has fresh ink, the paper is white

As the author creates a new passionate write.

From January...

Out with the old year, in with the new,
Welcome to year twenty twenty-two.
Hoping this will be a much better year,
Filled with more peace and not so much fear.

Twenty-twenty was the year it all began,
Covid appeared and we didn't have a plan.
Hand sanitizer, wearing face masks...

Innocent ears…
catch the gentle scrape
of nylon against nylon
Innocent eyes…
catch a flash of garter
Right knee over left
The simple motion
of legs crossing

She catches me looking
She is older than me
She glances down 
She glances back up
She tugs her lower lip
and smiles at me…...

For this day I have unchained my past…
Insecurities no longer linger…
Sadness is an emotion from another life…
Anger is no longer devouring my world…

For this day the present holds exploration…
Confidence holds truth to everyday…
Contentedness consumes every emotion…
Desire penetrates my soul…

Every phase of life holds a great...

Nature is an Autumnal thief; pilferer of clinging leaves 
Each one rudely swept away, but a tree never grieves
Well knowing in Spring, buds will reappear as sheaves

Behold the dawn of sunrise as we begin another day
Enfolding us in the sun's warmth with every golden ray
Gray...
