Begin

Start at the beginning
or the bottom
or the end
but just
begin again

with

traces of past tethered
together from then till now

Just breath and be
and see from
the place of the living

Where lives are left to live
and grace is there to give

Simply because of who we are, 
as souls scarred with glory and sin.

"Just breath and be
and see from
the place of the living

Where lives are left to live
and grace is there to give

Simply because of who we are,
as souls scarred with glory and sin."

Oh my friend, this incredibly beautiful. Something I really wanted to read. :) I miss you!!

So glad this touched your soul dear Maya. Own that sense of dignity that comes from inside, that defies outside destructiveness by accepting what is beautiful in you and letting no one else convince you of anything different. :)

'Just breath and be' that's all that one can do. Beautifully written...

[Revery]

Thank you SarahLin. :)

Onward and upward is the only way to go....through the bad times and the good times. Indeed, we may be scarred, but to sit in a corner and vegetate accomplishes nothing. Good life advice in this poem. Lydi*

Scars will last and that's okay but the wounds must first heal for life to continue and for inspiration to blossom again. Thank you for reading and commenting Lydia. :)

Sometimes we can begin again...if life will let us. A new beginning can be the making of us, sometimes. Interesting words, making the reader think. ~ Robert.
