Brand New

A reprieve

All torment and anguish

Diminished; vanished

Gone away with a thank you

Baffled and unaware

Questioning the reality

Elated but fearful

How can this be in my presence?

Watching in the past

Completely ignorant

Shrouded in the bliss of it

Until I saw something tangible

A familiar soul

Oh, but so much more

Replaced the dread in my chest

With unbelievable joy

I would have,

Could have never fathomed

This was a possibility

And yet, here we are

This is an amazing progression from a state of anguish to a place of joy. I find it interesting & original, the way you throw out ideas & feelings to show instead of tell (first rule of good writing) how this progression goes. Each reader can find a similar life experience to relate to personally -- having an awesome surprise in life that renews our spirit & hope. Very inspiring as a message & also for your way of crafting it (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

How you handle your stanzas is really solid. Your work ebbs and flows, with the right pauses. It wouldn't be hard to speak this aloud and it sound gorgeous. What you do is just all around very pleasing and intelligent.
