Flawlessly shining
Sunrays careen o’er fields
Hope stirs once again

New rains kiss the earth,
Seeds sprout from the darkened depths,

Start Fresh, Start New, Start You
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

A Fresh Start
Once a year, we toss our sins
And then we start out fresh.
I do it, even though my now-
And-then beliefs don’t mesh.
Traditions of the holidays
Are somehow still retained
Because, I guess since childhood,
They are very much ingrained.
Tomorrow, using pebbles
(Breadcrumbs can work just as well),
All my sins will hit the river,
Least as far as I can

Rhythm of Fresh Start
Blow the trumpet, rhythm of fresh start -
Hummingbirds nectar-sing-along.
Ruby passion throat, pink beak sips.
Chest puffed up, an emerald heart.
The flapping of yellow wings, strong.
Flower-power relationships.
The sweetest thing, a pleasant art.
Romantic flight of nature’s song.
Bird flips over God’s arrant scripts.
Memory of each flower, smart -
Its timing, to each bud belong.
Petals alive with hummer’s lips.
Hovering hummingbird busy.
Delirious

Brings new hopes,

Fresh Start
What if I wake up and forget who you are
And forget all the memories we had
"I guess it will just be fine,
Cause you'd get a fresh start to love me again"
Cause I'll be the same man you had eyes on
And the man you fell in love with
The same one who held your hand
When

Every Day Is a Fresh Start
Every day is a fresh start, a new beginning.
We can reinvent ourselves
We can be revitalized and inspired.
We can instill hope and love in others.
Every face we make, every word we utter
Every movement of our eyes and smile
Can uplift and enthuse
We can indulge ourselves in positivity.
Each day is a new day.
Yesterday is gone; it is foolish

A Fresh Start
Whenever something comes to an end,
there's always a new beginning.
The cycle of life goes on,
like a shining beacon
after the downpour.
Like a daybreak
after the
dark of
night.

A Fresh Start
Putting the pandemic on the run
Awakening hope for everyone
Enlightening hearts with truth that comes
From hearts who guide through trusting
The One who created this world and gave us
All a reason to give without conditions
The gift of sincerity, grace and mercy
The gift of faith, hope and love that survives
All the worst pains, sorrows and tears
Piercing the heart

Tomorrow Is a New Day
Tomorrow is Wednesday; I shall leap from my bed.
I will dash over the dog, and eat marmalade on bread.
I will call up my great aunt and put her on speaker.
She will hear me playing with dog, and her duck squeaker.
We will laugh at memories of my mother, her and I.
We will snort and smile and

A Fresh Start
Whenever you would
like a fresh start
Let a song work its way
into your heart
A light, airy tune
you're humming along
Before very long
it's become 'your song'
You move, you sway
its melody stays
On your lips, as you unwind ~
Serenity's gift, peace of mind

Fresh Start
Every day is a fresh start-
To relive the pain again
A spoon scooping out your heart
All you feel is hollow
Days are blurred
Life’s veil just became darker
And you smile a little less
What’s the point to fake one
When you lose the sunshine in your life
You only see rain
You can only remind yourself to breathe
Eat and survive
Nature doesn’t
