Starting Over

The bird sheds the feathers,
    of Autumn's pain
Welcoming winter,
    with open wings
Scents change,
    with the new breeze


Loss

belongings all gone in the fire
responsible for the look in your eyes.

starting over, crossing with lies
why are you calling me a liar?

His name beautifully translates into the word "lover."

Try To Retry

There is no retry. 
There is not a checkpoint. 
There is one try, to get across your point.
No do-overs, no re-do's.
No starting over, no take-two's.
No retakes.
No sequel.
Leaving mistakes.
Keeping all evil.

''Burn Out''

Wiped the tears from my eyes.
Starting over clean without your lies.
Have to go,I can not stay.
I love myself in a brand new way.

Premium Member Seagulls Cawing

A flock of seagulls fly in the cottony sky.
Hearing its cawing in the distance.
In a sunny and warmer afternoon.

They fly near the beaches looking for food.
At sunset, resume their flight again.
Starting over the next day.

Literary Wanderer

Unadulterated and pure
  the thoughts left my mind

Untrained and unschooled
  no restrictions to bind

The page below virgin
  as I lower my pen

A literary wanderer
  —starting over again

In Troubled Times

We all have a place some just never see
Who we are and what can be
As you endure a broken road
God will bless the heavy load
There's no need to sit and cry
Wonder what, where or why
Starting over is hard to do
Hold your head high and see it through

Premium Member Sledding

(S)now covered hills
(L)aughing with the speed
(E)agerly starting over again
(D)riving the sled, trying not to tip
(D)iving in the snow when it stops
(I)nitiating races to the bottom
(N)oses and cheeks red in the cold
(G)oing home to have hot cocoa

Ghosts

when I ran on empty
you filled my life
working around
what lays behind
days of heartbreak
and an eye that was blind
you touch my heart
and ease my mind

months of cold
and listless days
starting over 
all of that erased
once again, I pledge my love
letting all the ghosts abate

Snow Again

Sunny start, I see
Quiet day
Blue sky, turning white, gray
Frosty air, incoming
Small storm, starting over sea
With a menacing howl
Waving and a rippling

See it coming, crystal ball it
Light mix, sleet
Snow white 
With rain drops, tinkling
Dampen the ground, moist
There is the clock
Waiting

Beyond the Gleam

Can you escape your own intelligence,
  can you cross that final line

Can you release your own magnificence,
  starting over, redefined

Can you see beyond your vision,
  can you wish beyond your dreams

Can you think beyond your knowing,
 —can you love beyond the gleam

APPLE TURNOVER

What the world waits for
A miracle    new Eden
A great revival
An influx of innocence
Like a great enchanting wave

Like starting over
Adam and eve    the tree    snake
Virgin nakedness
Dark clouds give way to blue sky
And they happily remain
…………………………………………….

I just finished Dean Koontz’s “Breathless.”

January First

The champagne's all been guzzled.
The fireworks have burst.
The calendar has been replaced - 
It's January first.

In plans and resolutions
We all have been immersed.
It's time for starting over, fresh - 
It's January first.

Belaboring a point cannot
Be easily reversed,
So let me just acknowledge - wow!
It's January first!

Lunar Surprise

You can’t embrace
the moment forever
whose verity 
at essence ungrained

By definition
it must rename itself
once mentioned
decried and disclaimed

What came upon you
to die in place
where vacuums exit
in time and space

Regenerating
from life’s cocoon
and starting over

Premium Member Picked Up Towels

(The poetry form is a toss-up, between Narrative and Free Verse)

Picked-up Towels

He had left his wife
filed for divorce
starting over 
with nothing

We gave him
a pan here
a blanket there

He did his part
by picking up towels
left lying beside the road

One time too many
he stopped

It wasn't a towel
only a used Pamper

24

It started at 1, 4 came soon
Covered the world in blue
That used to be my favorite hue
24 hours and two moons
A lot can change in just a day
Some phases never let you stay the same

24 years of abuse
Put a blanket on the past and
Throw it in a casket
24 years out of view
Starting over feels so tragic
But crazier things have happened

Premium Member Who Will Feed First

Who will feed first I wonder
As vultures fly in, surrounding the carcass.
I begin to count them. 45, 46, 47…..92.
I lose count at 93, but do not feel like starting over.

The biggest birds feed first 
Because they had the strength to rip the animal open.
It was something I could no longer bear to watch.
So much for the Discovery Channel.

Premium Member Starting Over

what makes life worth living
what makes it exciting
it’s a different answer for us all
everyone has their own priorities
their own set of values

it’s never too late to rewrite a chapter
but opt not to build on sand
you’ll get washed up with tides
start over from nothing if you must
but build something solid
something that will last

Premium Member Journey of Life

Moving along steady and stable,
turning a corner.
Soaring high,
overlooking rushing waters.

Moving along uneasy and unbalanced,
turning a corner.
Falling into the mist,
crashing down.

Moving along rocky and bumpy,
turning a corner.
Pulling back up,
starting over.

Moving along stronger and wiser,
turning a corner.
Reaching new heights,
finding peace.

Starting Over

So, I'm starting over again,
Why is this thought in my brain,
That patterns repeat for everyone,
For me, good men appear to be none,
Control freaks take a sweet witch,
And turn her into a right *****,
You can't please bullies, let's say,
I suppose I'll learn that one day,
This pattern long held in my brain,
Being a doormat is a drain!
So, I'm starting over again.

Starting Over

Sometimes in our lives
we take wrong turns.

And then we wonder,
why not we,ve learned.

The spiral downward,
seems only to get deeper.

Then the minds eye,
only see,s the Grim Reaper.

But thru Jesus, 
comes your sight

Wide eyed open,
you,re able to see some light.

Then thru his will,
your journey begins.

You get to start all over,
all over again.
