Moon's Blank Slate

I extend my humble hand
out toward its delicate glow
Sparse, inky bristles await
note I will ask them to paint
The message is sweetly short
Dear blank page: brighten our night
Shine on! shadows swirled with light

A room's whites cry loud
Still sound fills it with endless echo
No thought, no audible breath, no
Perspective
This view too is
Outside perceivable depth
Only a snowy canvas
Full of emptiness to reveal
The plan
Grab a roller
Pour the can, and 
Paint myself eggshell
Now I am the blank slate

Listen to poem:
Falling out of Sight
David J Walker

Every new day 
	A new fate

Every new sun 
a clean slate
awaits

every new moon 
a new phase has
	begun

as the wait ends 
the gross weight

a gross ton 
sends

its arrows true 
and straight

and bends light
to its delight and whims 

as yesterday begins to
pass

and at last 
falls out of sight

Premium Member Blank Slate

With each blank slate 
You test your fate: 

You screw up once?
Still stand a chance!
You screw up twice?
Comes with a price!
The fourth, the fifth?
You're screwed therewith!
Your strikes go on?
You get withdrawn
From taking part 
In a fresh start!
Despite all thanks 
There’re no more blanks! 

Chances you blew 
Will now screw you!

Wipe the Slate

Wipe the slate and greet the year;
It’s the best of choices.
Let the sorrows disappear
As everyone rejoices.

Things could always be much worse,
We always keep forgetting.
Shift to drive and leave reverse – 
What’s over needs no fretting.

Venture out and face the day
And feel the sunshine’s healing.
Find some joy in life’s bouquet
And focus on that feeling.

Blank Slate

Tabula rasa, pristine way To start afresh each nascent day; Turn your back on toils and troubles, Spurn old struggles, burst their bubbles, Cast off shackles, unfurl your wings, Free the puppet, cut off all strings, Lighten the load, write off the weight, Embrace each dawn with a blank slate.

A Clean Slate

A new year wipe yourself a clean slate,
leave past worries and troubles behind
a locked gate.

Dispose of old foes and
any lingering ghosts. 

Dust yourself of
moving forward letting go of last years 
mistakes and traits.

You have a destiny,
your life will be restored. Your heavenly
Father knows what your future holds.

Trust in the good shepherd and life will
get better.

Appreciate Not Slate

So many lifestyles, So many 
groups 
People being judged like a 
cover of a book
Let's shed one last Tear and 
Appreciate we're here
For tomorrow's  never 
promised which to me now is 
clear

People blessed enough to still 
be on earth
An attitude of gratitude should 
globally burst
Let's learn not to hate, teach 
each other to forgive
United as one, how God 
intended we live
