Best New Start Poems
Plans for life at prolonged range
Where everything is glebe strange.
No more strain prompt from the past
I have concealed it fully at long last.
Memories of mine for what I've been
I sanctified that filthy slate clean.
Expeditiously, I will be among the few
I look forward to my hereafter new.
Soon all flashback will get depart
I will have recourse to A NEW START.
The familiar faces that I'll long to see.
The beauty of a place where my soul once laid.
The bests of memories that will linger in mind.
How hard to tell everyone , "goodbye".
A year of struggles,pain and defeat.
How I love to recall the moment I wept.
A painful experience that leads to success.
Now I'm bringing a torch to lit the path that I'll take.
Tears may gently flow from these eyes.
The laughter we had shared still echoe from afar.
Though my heart is dying each time we depart.
I'll treasure those days when you cheer me high.
This journey I'll be taking isn't be that long.
I'll leave you with a sweet kiss while the sky is dark.
So tomorrow we'll greet the sun with a smile.
Facing a new beginning, in the world we survive.
Wading through flooded streets as hurricane rain poured
A man fell into the flow when sharp thunder roared
As a journalist reporting live from the scene
I saw lightning crack through the sky, heard the man scream
“Is he homeless?” I asked the emergency crew
The director shook his head; the answer he knew
“He lives in our park now, but served in Vietnam
He saved his entire unit from the Viet Cong.”
The team pulled him from the gutter to the shelter
I brought him tea, forgot I was a reporter
I asked why he’d screamed, his memory seemed hazy
“Did you hear the bombs drop?” asked Captain Bob Mazy
The emergency director took me aside
“We call him Crazy Mazy,” he did confide
He suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder
Can’t live with the lives he took following orders.”
When Hurricane Kate passed o’er the Gulf Coast
I’d seen much destruction, but remembered Mazy most
His story I broadcasted and vets contacted me
The donations poured in; so many gave freely
Soon we’d accumulated twenty-five grand
Just enough to buy Mazy an acre of land
Then people from his home state gathered one weekend
To build him a home, much effort they expended
Several social workers set up counseling services
To meet all his needs, everyone made concessions
Local stores gave him clothing, food, even a job
No longer “Crazy Mazy,” he was now just Bob
A gentle man who soon overcame all his fears
On Memorial Day, he was greeted by cheers
Accolades he’d never heard when he returned from Nam
But attitudes had changed and people’s hearts had warmed
Look down;
you are way better
than many critters.
Look in the mirror;
you have more power
and survived the tough hours
Look at your home;
you are super duper,
you made this one special.
Look around;
you are far better,
than many flimsy folks.
Now, stop crying and
start relishing...
For the world is small...
Very small...
But the joys abound,
all around.
Now, stop complaining
and start enjoying...
For the earth is pure,
and so are our souls.
Just dust away the grudges
and start anew,
all new...
all pure
all true...
Start Fresh,
Start New....
All pure...
All true....
Hold high the lamp to chase away,
The shadows dark that hide the way;
Lest sleep become an unwelcome guest,
That keeps you from you lonely quest.
The first step taken, a journey started,
Does not begin with the faint hearted;
Wipe the tears that live in the past,
And look to the future where light is cast.
The tireless quest has just begun,
To shed the dark and find the sun;
To heal the hurt that caused such pain,
And put some joy in your life again.
Let me hold you close and help you find,
The peace you need to heal your mind;
Now's the time to make a new start,
To help you heal your broken heart.
A New Song a New Start
written by Magneeta Sojourner
As the day and weeks ran behind me
looking for the truth
no answers to my questions
though I’d sifted though it all
Breaking from the silence
when nothing else would call
heard the echo of voices
banging in my ears
No one can hear what is not
spoken out aloud
No one knows it”s raining
without walking outside
I’d hoped it would happen
not happen like its
happened before
only leave without knocking
destiny is a thing not seen
even if its standing at the door
brush aside the doubting
and get up off the floor
the road you’ve been
travelin has become a
joyless sight seeing ride
becoming our weight
dead end one way street
looking for a exit cause
the gas is running low
don’t want be stranded
In this god forsaken
one man rider
broken pathway hole
trouble lights a flashing
out a s.o.s
pulled off to refer to a
torn and crumpled map
can’t make out the letters
So....
I’ll have to take it on faith
next stop will be the one
so this trip will be over
getting past pulling up
the hidden four leaf clovers
dotted in diamond drops
of water where the world
reflects back at me
instilled the lost innocence
firing as thunder clap cannons
into morning light
cut a new horizon
I found my shadow there
on the ground
stretched out in mile long
outline
Inside my mind the sound of
music replacing missing
notes that opened up engulfed
my fear to find
my eyes in rescued peace unfurling
The trick is to learn when you’re eating to fill the heart instead of the stomach. Feeding the stomach … is easy. That’s just diet. It’s learning how to feed the heart that’s hard.
~Coco Mellors
Never was eating an entire bag of potato chips
Enough to satisfy the inner hunger
When the hunger wasn’t really physical.
Satiation is just a synonym for addiction,
Too much time not to think of comfort
And serotonin highs~
Rough the traumas of childhood, at least
The food isn’t alcohol or drugs!
Still three hundred pounds isn’t easy to pack around,
That takes its toll on knees and hips,
And it isn’t like you can just quit eating,
Retraining habits isn’t the stuff of silly songs~
Triumph is measured in ounces not pounds!
Nevertheless here we are one hundred pounds lighter,
Even the stars twinkle brighter~
Winning the battles then winning the war!
healthy nutrition will fuel my body and control my weight
make my bones strong and impact my moods and stress
exercise is so crucial for my physical and mental well being
I love walking for miles, for hours ...so I will live longer
oh water is so important for without water body cannot
function and my life will end . . .
I need sunshine, vitamin D- it is vital
for my physical and mental needs and those winter blues
temperance will bring me self control, manage
impulses and create balance in my life
without air all life dies within minutes it is essential
to my existence . . .
I need to sleep, to rest and repair my muscles and prevent
burn out_ lack of sleep results in stress
a trust in God brings me peace, strength
and creates a meaningful life- I surrender to HIS love
Waiting for a new start
Hoping happiness will be a big part
Sadness I want to overcome
Sorrow that I will not succumb
Day after day wandering where I will stay
Searching for a place to keep the torment away
Night after night fighting the nightmares that bring such a fright
waking up and hoping things will be alright
As the sun is on the rise
It is my emotions I must disguise
I try to imagine it being a reality,
A reality containing you and I.
Me being able to let you know,
I want you to know how I feel
With your undeniable body,
And my quite admirable touch.
Nothing would be strong enough,
Nope! Not strong enough to stop us.
Us? That is what clutches it all,
There is no us, nor could there every be.
I don't really know how to tell you this,
What you want is what I have.
I'll make you feel in ways unknown to you.
My touch will make it hared fro you to breathe.
These lips on your lips,
Well it would make that poor tattered mind unwind.
There would be a halt on time itself,
As your fingertips caressed my body.
I wish I knew that this fascination could exist.
I want you to hold me, I always have.
I see you right before me,
Yet you still seem so far away.
2007
each day
a new start
shower
weigh
take the first step
towards tomorrow
and
a new start
As a New Year comes roaring in, will we greet it with a New Start or resolutions?
Our health should be on the top of our list for 2026.
There are eight laws of health starting with Nutrition.
Then followed by Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest and Trust in God.
All eight are required for a healthy and happy life.
Is this the year for change and better health?
Twelve months will pass by very fast.
Will we be a winner for better health or a loser?
Only time will tell.
do just one daily
never but never give up
yes 2026 best year ever
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take
If for me morning does not come
I pray for life to some old bum
A new beginning
A new start
Another chance to do his part
If for his old ways, he shall return
For my life back, I shall yearn
Just try to hurt me again and you'll see...
Now you can't play with me...
I'll get you out of my life-I'll get free...
You'll never feel the same-you'll never feel my pain..
I'm going away, and you'll never see me again...no..
You'll never hear my name..
I've been hurt so many times and now it is the end...Cause I'm done from pretending...
You can break this house-you can break everything you want but you'll never break my heart....
Destroying everything in my life is not the end - I'll put up my life again , I'll have a new start...
I'll never forget the pain-I'll never allow you to hurt me again....
Back to God and maybe he'll forget your sins....
As long as I remember why I've left you I'll never regret...
That's my point of strength-I'll feed from the pain , I promise you to never forget...
I'll not cry , I won't be sad even a little bit...
Maybe it wasn't meant to be like you have said...Maybe be I'll not have you , but I'll have a better person instead...
Maybe every sweet thing you have ever told me was to play with my heart , to play with my head...
My mistake was that I fell in love without using my brain...
But it's not your fault -it is my blame....
And now it's time to turn to my favor this damn game....
A smile on my face
Bounce in my feet
Pep in my pace
Heart feeling the heat
A smell of the roses
Picnics at the park
Past all the poses
This time it’s no lark
A smile in my heart
Gifts from above
Perhaps my last new start
Feels a lot like love
