Lord, remember me
For I dwell solomly in your path,
Find my lost soul afresh....

Try new things
Wake your dreams
Try, try, try

Break the mould
Be the change
Start afresh

Walk the talk
Go for it
Yes you can...

Travel…
down hill I go
like wingless bird through sky
with nostrils drawing air afresh
this night.

Soon the rains will come again

And wash the earth clean

Oh that it might wash our hearts too

And fill us with hope afresh

Then like flowers in full bloom

We will blossom and flourish....

auburn, golden crunching leaves - orchestra ears adore much
cinnamon fine breeze sweeping away dullness - beginnings await eagerly
hearts desiring to breathe afresh - rustle, roll, regal, revival...

There was a lad from Bangladesh,
Who read a book titled, 'Suresh',
He wakes up every night,
Because he sees a light,
And the book comes to him afresh.

The ice is melting
The rivers rise
The heart is hoping
With covered eyes
I am not afraid
Of coming flood
The higher grade
Refurbishes blood

Separated by day
We come again by night
To wipe the shame away
And face afresh the light....

Barbed volleys 
Wound my heart.
Sieved and torn,
Crippled beyond repair.

I crawl,
Seeking  condonation,
For what I know not,
Content with scars.

Would that they disappear
Without trace,
To start afresh;
But barbs suppurate!...

AFRESH
SPARK IN THE DARK
CONTROL MY TONGUE
KISSES LIKE CANDY
WALKING ON EGGSHELLS
FRANTIC,
A PURPOSEFUL MENTION
MAGICAL
SEASONS CHANGE
ANEW
FEELING IN MY HEART
LISTLESS
GENTLE HANDS
SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
AWAKE
ALIVE 
AGAIN....

Try new things
Wake your dreams
Try, try, try

Break the mould
Be the change
Start afresh

Walk the talk
Go for it
Yes you can

LISTENING

in
a

process
ever eager

occasional
 dismay
of  necessity
slowly
 strengthened

its

Will such beauty endure? It surely must.
When Mankind’s traces vanish from the Earth,
our glories turned back to primeval dust,
millennia hence. And then perchance re-birth,
starting afresh with wondering eyes to see
abiding splendour in an Autumn tree....

COMMON SCENTS

Sweet goosebump tinge
of distant rain
such hope imbued
on nature’s whispered breath
and dirt, soft earth
awaiting to be turned
savored
salt air afresh
on tongues of breaking waves
the aromatic nuances
of her

Living light within pulsating
Our spiritual heart
Magnetic strobes scintillating 
Each moment afresh start

Oh hermit, just feel it
We are at the summit
Soul-body, perfect fit

Day and night
Living light

Drenched today I may be, 
but this isn't my end yet. 
I would ignite afresh, 
and this ability hasn't perished yet. 
Discard I might my wings if, 
I would glide up again yet.
Would you be able to stop me then?
There isn't such a wall yet!

gardens bloom afresh

scents and hues cast magic spell

vibrant life begins ~

verdant nature causes that

hope-blossomed spring in our steps

Memories stay afresh
Blackie lying down with her head between her paws
Eyes enmesh

Robust and dear
Her short life deserves an applause
No fear

What might!
Gentle, she was
Bright!

Memories stay afresh
Her short life deserves an applause
Bright!

I was in His bosom 
With no form or comeliness
Created from dust
Nothing moved me
Until dust came to life by 
 His breath
The very nature of Him
I am created to praise Him
That I will always do
Let your breath come afresh
 on me
Renew me with your Spirit.

FRESH    START

From the bare branches of the larch
A twittering chorus cascades,
Celebrating the warmer days of March,
Filling my ears with spring serenades.

I too step out lively on my way
In hope of starting afresh with strength
My tasks unfinished while I may,
In these days of increasing length....

Night looms day, black croons white to bloom
As new day dawns, expectant of curtain call
But old cast in same play rerun doomed
To reel off the same old B-grade stuff
Unless you dawn awake before morn
And draft new play, and fledge fresh cast
A new chapter, a new one-act play baked afresh each day...

From glory to glory
The end of one story
A fresh start once more
My creative juices to the fore

I am resilient to refresh
I am a Husband, afresh
A Father once more
Human at the core

Let me grow, no more slow
Always ready to brightly glow
My purpose, now found
You will see more of me around...
