RENEWED
Blows Eastward,
a destination fate had prepared.
Renewed,
is a bludgeoned heart,
no longer fueld by loneliness and despair...
The demise of a mountainous boulder,
crashing downward with it's mighty weight;
Crushing ageless fossils,
broken from a lifetime of decay.

Second Chances
All that awaits
are the memories
All that’s left
still unclaimed
All that I treasure
lay buried inside
All in those choices
— unmade

Second Chances
First time around, I slowly locked
him out and threw away the keys.
Memories of him fell like Autumn leaves.
In reality, he was a father that I thought
I really knew. But in reality, he was also
a father I never really knew.
It was when I was shown a different view
that he became someone entirely new. After
years, and not

Second Chances
Second chances might not be
Quite what you expect
When you hope to try again
At the exact same circumstance
Mistakes are made each day
By each and everyone
And maybe everyone gets to try again
Just not the way they think
They think they'll get a chance
To right the wrongs they made
To love her right the second time
When the first

Second Chances
I have seen the sky begin again,
After storms had bruised its face—
A tender hush, a breathless hush,
That made the world a softer place.
The river does not hold regret,
It carves new songs through stone and sand,
And every willow learns to bend,
When winter presses on the land.
So let my heart, though bruised and torn,
Begin again with morning’s

Second chances
Thou hast knocked
thrown thy rocks
at my window
Perhaps open heart surgery
a sharp tool required
to get thru decades of barricades
the ship that sailed is docking
the mutiny so long ago

Second Chances
For love is not always easy, not always kind,
It is the bond that ties us, body, and mind.
We refuse to give up, to let go of what we hold dear,
For in each other's arms, we have nothing to fear.
Through the stormy seas and darkest nights,
We cling to each other, our hearts continuing to fight.
Broken but

The demon of second chances
It worked in the recesses
the nooks and cracks of the darkness.
It’s shapeless meandering form intent on its work
It’s slither of arms and tentacles wrapped around
the soul
It’s tortures fizzing within the human it bound
The fizz and crackles followed by the whiff of
meat more than burned and tastelessness so far beyond.
It had a focus unparalleled by

Second Chances Given
All dreams of moving ahead
Was lying near me in my bed
Trying to start once again
Hoping this time I'll begin
To feel something more
Than my heart shutting a door
On anyone who tries to enter
There was no one who could mentor
My heart back to normal rhythm
Everybody was a victim
I never gave a second chance
For my heart to finally

Second Chances
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. - J. B. Priestley
After the sun rises, gentling the morning,
Beautiful light in the sky, hope is dawning.
Captive of the joy, such peaceful wonder,
Destined to breathe feelings

Sunday Psalm
Sundays are for reading
Tending to the self
Singing your favorite songs
Under the splendour of the sun
Sundays are for creating
Colourful thoughts and dreams
And words that fill the spaces in-between
Sundays seems like a place that exists on earth
Filled with peace and second chances
Sundays can seem mundane
But digging deep is never in vain

SECOND CHANCE
I can see it clearly now,
ive been given one more chance.
To live my life again,
to give life a second glance.
I know it wont be easy,
but i,ll take one step at a time.
Until ive battled through my demons,
and have a better frame of mind.
I know i could not do this,
without the help i have received,

Mercy
Lost.
searching for a love
to call my own
But pain still befriends me
Shattered.
Fresh wounds still bleed
A sworn enemy to darkness
I beg the light to swallow me
Breathing.
Beyond my brokenness
Praying for forgiveness
Healing made promises
Hopeful.
Better days have come
Mercy smiled from above
I think I found the One.
