Renewal Poems - Poems about Renewal

For the strong ones — on their stay-in-bed days. © Gabrielle Munslow 2025. All rights reserved. I think I’d just like to be — No noise in my head. The TV on standby. Radio not transmitting. The dog forgetting his bark. The tears unshed. Just leave me in bed. My whole psyche ashes away, aching from absorbing prophetic punches. I changed the trajectory of my life...

I was saved by quiet things— The rustle of the morning breeze, The way the robin spreads its wings, The golden drift of autumn leaves. I was saved by threads of light That touched my skin through broken blinds, By distant stars that pierced the night, By echoes I had left behind. I was saved by falling rain— The softest tears the sky could...

There is a garden between my ribs, A hidden place the world can't see. It blooms in silence, softly lives, A patch of green inside of me. I never chose the seeds it sowed, They came from storms I couldn’t flee. Each broken word, each heavy load, Took root beneath my shattered sea. It grew through cracks, it pierced my bones, With petals made...

Nowruz¹ The mirror breathes beneath my palm— twelve days I've polished chrome. Sabzeh² sprouts in jam-jar earth, each blade a promise worth the waiting. Mother counts rice grains while saffron stains her fingertips. The goldfish circles, bored by glass, as hours pass like water drops. What grows in us that won't be named? This hunger, neither blessed nor shamed— I watch my hand shake as I...

(A lone voice whispers) In the wind, In a gale, or at sea, Evoked by angels at daylight, Awoken by devils at midnight. And just broken In between. I once wandered like Dante, Experiencing heaven and hell Simultaneously, Like a shadow being, A Djinn. Unfolded...

breath by breath as we are reborn we sense soul’s vibrance stretch and yawn there is nothing we need to do watching the pulse of bliss renew kundalini does so endow grace divine in staid stillness slow each hue’s new, like the morning dew watching the pulse of bliss renew space flickers and time holds its breath when we imbibe love’s healing meth with each...

a good book and my cat cushions and a faux fur throw a nook by the window with a view onto the city park where birds have returned to nest following the harsh winter everyone's come out of hibernation and the cycle begins of rejuvenation life and love ...

When night feels black to you hiding fears inside too When worries fall like rain spinning puddles in your brain; Use imagination to see a vacation A place that is your own all things you love are shown When time is pushing you as thoughts are racing through Distract yourself in ways Simple things, new days Time can be your own friend In a moderate blend of living...

The fast is broken The doors have opened My mind is clear The clutter in rear Lighter than a feather No longer captain slur Focus is new norm No longer the storm Thank God for rebirth Next season without dearth Didn’t expect full recharge He gives without surcharge Gratitude comes this season Life has only begun ...

The Storm uttered his vengeful voice Breathing threats on all mortals below. With power he showed his flashing bolts And shook the earth with his mighty hands. The trees cried loudly as they were rent. The rivers drank more than they could bear. Creatures hid in quivering protest As the storm’s soldiers marched quickly by. When he passed there came...

I The bell the Town Courier want to toll To salute the day of reckoning in Getham City Is now on the neck of the scary-witty cat her paws like dragon Saints, Publicans looking on at each other nose Of whose can prove his vigour to bell the cats? Lo! Saw earth sweeping away into the abyss Yes! Her treasures sunken into...
