Best Clean Slate Poems


Clean Slate

Stains of the past wiped out with a swish;
Tears of remorse melting marks of our errors.

Quick as lightening, removed in an instant;
He forgets what we've done as we beg for forgiveness.

Before we are finished, the Supreme One who hears,
Renews our bond of love and removes sin's chains.

Remembrance of pain erased from the heart,
Our debt was paid through the ransom from God.

Nothing we've done can interfere with His Grace,
When we turn to doing good and ourselves remake.



(Acts 3:19)

A Clean Slate

A new year wipe yourself a clean slate,
leave past worries and troubles behind
a locked gate.

Dispose of old foes and
any lingering ghosts. 

Dust yourself of
moving forward letting go of last years 
mistakes and traits.

You have a destiny,
your life will be restored. Your heavenly
Father knows what your future holds.

Trust in the good shepherd and life will
get better.

Clean Slate

driftwood drawn words~
sandy slate washed clean
under  waves of the sea.


Clean Slate, Please

picking up the pen again it's been awhile with no conditionin', 
when you've been gone so long where do you begin? 
I fell again, 
i had to sin in my mind to win, 
but I lose

sitting alone in my room like I’m on auto-cruise, 
every look in the mirror givin my ego a bruise, 
because i know where i am is due to what i choose, 

fade myself away into the day, the way the day fades into night, 
and when the dark surrounds I'm not around to feel the fright, 

i'm in my mind lost in a world that isn’t mine, 
looking for a way out, hoping for a sign, 
a self-induced coma from which i wish i could resign, 
all these things have become malicious but my intentions were benign, 
and although i wanted to begin this i feel I've crossed a line, 

and there seems to be no coming back, 
the feeling of a constant heart attack, 
all my vision slowly fades to black as i feel my knees begin to slack, 
i don't feel myself fall only hear my head smack, 
on the floor with a crack, 

did it awaken me or has it just shaken me?
either way I think it's makin me feel like this world is fakin me, 
and i just wanna clear the slate ya see?

I don't wish to die
For I have yet to fly
I have just begun
Life really has not been that fun
But to go on down the path called the way
I must be careful choosing the words I say
An unkind word can set back the day
Watch for the games they play
So much beauty is never witnessed by an unseen eye
They shall never truly fly
To the deaf , a kind word,
Is never heard
So I pass my time
Playing with some rhythm 
Trying to spread some hope
To those at the end of their rope
It is not the end of the day but beginning of one new
Time to step beyond the days you blew
Face your fears 
Dry those tears
Face the day with a clean slate
Cause it's not to late
To change your fate
Reaching for your star
Can only take you so far
At some point you must grab on and hold on tight
You know I'm right

A Clean Slate and a Blank Canvas

lately
i have been seeing you in a different light
honestly
you have become even more beautiful throughout the years
unexpectedly
you make me nervous like the very first view of you
actually
that is a good thing

i have not been showing you the attention that you deserve
i let my being a bashful introvert block the Blessing right under my nose
this routine that we have been stuck in needs a laxative with a sincere heartbeat
i know exactly where we can rekindle, revisit, and reignite

lately
i have been seeing you in a different light
honestly
you have become even more beautiful throughout the years
obviously
i have been dropping the ball in a freefall to a potential hell
needfully
we gots ta get it on again like that old song goes

please take my hand for a date back to our natural roots
i would love the honor of that smile that more than won me over
please accept these flowers as a token of my appreciation, gratitude, and love
from here, let's rework the art that was once so beautifully made

Clean Slate

A divine moment that allows introspection.
As the sun lowers, night offers protection.
 
Deserving of silence while I take it all in,
catching a glimpse of a Dolphin's fin. 

Briefly the sky is a coloring book,
as if children had crayons and somehow mistook
the big blue canvas as a clean slate 
to paint magic and start to create. 

New memories and a new day tomorrow, 
abandon cobwebs and moments of sorrow. 
Lowering the hours of this day
allowing the next morning to be o.k. 

Taking my breath away
I feel emotion that's been at bay.
