Best New Day Poems

A new day, a new world, a new tomorrow

Shades of painted corners
face these inward fears
Now drenched in today’s worries,
as flat as the cornerstone of suffering
caught within boundaries along wasting moments, 
crying blanket feelings,
pounding on the walls of despair

       “leaving...

Winter is leaving a patchwork behind
Woven lumps of snow, for spring to un-wind
Melting into flowing streams, easy to follow
Right on down to the river bend's flow
A place for my soul's revival, under tall pines, soft soil
A nice place of rest from burdening toil
I can imagine...

I’ve been praying without answers
Pouring out my heart to you
Hoping for the light to see
So I can know what I should do
I’ve cried in disappointment
There's no one to wipe my tears away
I’m surrounded by dark shadows
God, how long will this night stay

Will lonely evening turn...

With each new day 

~

The night is silent
as evening drapes her cloth
above all that is seen
and shadows sit wondering…
what shapes will find them

Thoughts invade these hours
while fireflies sift through
evergreens now still,
seeking only but a soft breeze
whispering sweet dreams on feathered branches

And I sit here on...

New Day

Give us all a New Day 
Give us all a Holiday
Give us all a brighter dawn

So when the Sun pierces our curtains
That what which we were uncertain
Are consigned to our past
Like ghosts and ashes

So give us all a New Day
And let the sun shine...

Streetlight shadows, sentinals of the night
Give up their posts
Secrets safe

Crescent Moon, Venus in tow
Sighs its last breath
Waning on the horizon

Newspapers flop at doors, car exhaust
Once more bubbles
 In the sunrise

Thoughts of commerce, or lack of it
Fill heads with coffee

Below the bridge, alongside the river
Ducks push...

Away all sorrow

   Move swiftly into the past

      Today's a new day

        Wanting only happiness

            Tomorrow is further still......

        It's a new day today,
     New challenges ahead,
  New things to be explored,
New roadways to be tread.

        Each day has its lessons,

What happened to my boisterous boy,
      beloved keeper 
                       of wild bluebell skies?     ...

Luna fades to dream
As the sleepy Earth's eyelids
Begin to flutter......

Her grateful kiss moistens the dawn, raised arms embrace the sun.
A light like fire burns for all time, a new day has begun.
When Sunday morning’s church bell chimed, brisk steps tapped with the song.
Gray walls of stone held prayers within, stained glass cast shadows long.
She...

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it..."  E.E. Cummings

Hello my dearest darling, it was our time to wake,
The rustic rooster had already roused my reverie,
Heralding the dewy dawn 
Of our new great day.
For I...

Draped over the land like a ghostly shroud,
a blanket of morning mist
morphs into rolling banks of fog;
soft as an eider-filled duvet.
Dawn rebukes Night's claim to darkened skies
and armed with chisels of light
sculpts ebony shadows
into shifting shapes,
sent scurrying into nooks and crevices.
Sleeping sounds slowly awaken;
giving voice...

I search and i fight,
                                   in hopes of new light.
