Starting Over
Seven ton's fell down that day.
Crushed my life and took you away.
Left me standing in a pile of rubble.
Still in shock, I'm afraid I'm in trouble.

Post traumatic shuffling of paper's.
A day in the life of the soul shapers.
Begins the journey to where, you don't know.

The Five Starting Their Day
The keen necks in the blue eyes
Looking for the pink goal posts
She was six feet tall at the grassy ground
Sketching the angles and lines of the life
Playing in front of her like the young cubs
Beside her the young brown lad
Standing like the cloudless sun
Holding the...

Premium Member Starting To Feel Jazzy
The heart of a lion 
The soul of a flea
The energy of a gnat
Please do not let this be me

Reaching into my junk drawer
I pick up three items that give me glee
A candy bar wrapper, 
And a playing card with a decorated bee.

Dragons in my...

Starting To Heal
Screams that never got heard, tears that never got dried
the ignored child as my parents would fight
I found peace in sleep because my real life was a nightmare 
Parents didn't care to look after me, so I was taken into foster care 

I was only...

Starting Over
The bird sheds the feathers,
    of Autumn's pain
Welcoming winter,
    with open wings
Scents change,
    with the new breeze...

Starting a New Journey In Life
I am starting a new journey in life,
a journey of love and hatred,
a journey of mixed feelings,
  a sweet journey of life,
fused in the chains of caution,
fused in the chains of intuition.
On my high way I might see doves of white,
on my lone way,I...

Let's start at the beginning
of your ecotherapeutic day.

I'm talking today with Fr. Time,
Earth's only fully self-ordained ecotherapist,
and recently published author of
"Journals of MotherEarth."

We have no corporate sponsorships to report,
although we are for sale
especially if you're buying,
or know anyone who is,
and can afford us--
cause we ain't...

Starting To Forget

I swore I called your number
we hadn't spoken for so long.
The man that took my call
said I done something wrong.

He said it's been his number
for going on seven years.
When I heard the phone go dead
I broke out into tears.

I swore I would remember...

Give Yourself A Chance
Stop And Take A Look
Stare Don't Glance

Yes, Stare.. Stare.. Stare..
Stare Upon Success
Focus On That Future
Let Your Eyes Start Your Quest

You're A Totally New Version

Starting Over
Survival is a lesson in itself.
Treacherous lives have suffered treacherous abuse -
Only to find enlightenment from the wisdom of denial.
Reality of denial opens major change -
Lessons of starting over;
Lessons of perception;
Lessons of connection.
Connection brings help from others...
Recovering from separation from life itself.
Remain open to all...

Is It Starting Again
as we touch the ocean your eyes fade into the blue
your wet face drifts in complete harmoney 
your very soul floats before me like a wild spirit
the wild wolfs are around you
in the morning i will phone you
i might have been lost 
i might still...

Premium Member Starting Over As a Freshman
Applications are done 
Relaxing under the sun  
High School tassels distant memory 
Senior prom night issues buried 
New relationships are the present worry 
Bringing stress with the luggage they carry 
Acceptance letter was received 
From number one school ‘would you believe?’ 
Leaving the state...

Starting Again
Starting, 
again and again,
and again and again.

Each start, preceded by a step that was stopped with a monumental screech in mid motion, locking the brakes on a tire of movement.

Trepidation looms, 
failure hung in the air like the dank moldy smell permeating from the basement...
