To start anew

I sense a calm and gentle breeze

Whispering through the crowns of trees

A tender touch, a sunray so warm

How pleasing the thought of being reborn

 

To start anew and to perceive the world

The rubbing of novel eyes, a body curled

I have been asleep and am now awake

In my chest, a heart oblivious to ache

 

How I long for an innocent dream

An embrace that lasts the length of a stream

A kiss with a promise of unconditional love

The serenity found through such infinity thereof

 

Take me there, to the end of all there is

Let me close my eyes one final time in bliss

Knowing there is another coast to the sea

Knowing someone somewhere is waiting for me

 

To start anew

To start again

I will be good

I swear, I will

This. is the first posted write and its already deep . If we have been another chance to rewrite the history of our fragmented life . At what point and what chapter and pages of our life we begin to change anew . Do we get to choose where we were born ...our parents ...our siblings ..our friends and school ...or perhaps who we would fall in love with . The shape and the color of our eyes and hair . Perhaps even our careers . Or do we get to change the some but not the all and choose to leave half if not some to chance and happenstance . Even at the prime beginning . There's that deep introspection in all your penned piece . Thanks for posting and sharing .

It's a spiritual write that's expressing the passion of your soul, of your heart to start off the things to do, to restart the life to live again living past behind into the past to make future nice and living in present free from pain or free from the old memories of the past at all ...

... nicely transformed the feelings of your heart into the words to express .. to show the "New-Start" of the life. I'd love to say that this poem's seemed very encouraging to me and i hope who read this read'd gonna be encourage themselves either by your words to live a life in a new start .. in all new ways.

Ah! I really can't control myself to give you 100/100, sorry but i have to give you 100/100.
Thanks for penning it!

By the way, Your cool!

You comprehend what I wanted to convey. Life's a tough game, some days I feel it would just be nice to start over and have another go at it. Thank you for reading this poem. I'm glad you liked it so :)

[Neon]

My pleasure!

Yeah .. you really conveyed well here the nice message through this beautiful piece about life. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we don't so what's it!! It's nothing but "Life" .. We make dreams live lost into fantasy but survive into reality ... what's it!! It's again nothing but a "Life" ..
Your this write's really well transparent and clear everything about the life. It also shows that your thinking, your thoughts, your beauty everything's very good and beautiful yeah! Beautiful as same as you!

Keep writing, I really loved this write. You've a very great talent to write.
So, keep smiling and spreading the scent of your kind beauty everywhere to make the world peaceful :)

Your cool!

[Michelle N. H.]

You're so sweet. Thank you loads, Nèon.. You carry much positive energy with you, keep spreading the love, it's good :)

[Matt DeFranco]

This is very intriguing. It provokes inward senses.

[Michelle N. H.]

That's nice, I'm glad you feel that way.

I enjoy the idea of rebirth, both spiritually and metaphorically - to be able to start again, to redefine oneself and cleanse the imperfections within, whether it be via change in perspective or otherwise. That innocence you describe is something so precious, but easily lost with time. How different would the world be if we retained that innocence? Another beautifully crafted poem that incites discussion and invites praise.

[Michelle N. H.]

We'd have a divine world in its inconceivability. Thank you, I value that last compliment :)

Let me close my eyes one final time in bliss
Knowing there is another coast to the sea
Knowing someone somewhere is waiting for me"
We need new beginnings. I understand the desire of this poem. I changed my life four times. Sometime we need change and new places and people. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

As we change, our surroundings ought to change also and vice versa. Thanks, Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes, I agree. I left the country twice and joined a war to escape. It was worth the effort.

[Michelle N. H.]

It sure sounds tough, yet any scar leads to a healing when treated and that's a comfort. I'm glad you feel at ease for the present. Much love from here.

Your poetry is a pleasure to read. So graceful, elegant and I find it very feminine. Have you been published? If not; I am sure you will be soon.

[Michelle N. H.]

That makes me so thrilled! Many thanks :) No writings of mine have ever been published. I've never attempted to have it done. For the time being, I'm really just enjoying the return of an old pastime activity amongst likeminded lovers of poetry.

You have a very strong talent. I look forward to more.

[Michelle N. H.]

I'm glad that you think so, really. I just read myself through "The Ballad of Oakvale". It's beautifully written, from start to finish.. I'll look forward to more of your writings too :)

[V. P. Trujillo]

Thank you very very much! =)

That's nice. Thanks, DaniElle :)

I love the way this poem tells the reader what you want without being depressing or sad. Its full of passion and positivity. Well done.

[Michelle N. H.]

Thank you :) The positive feel to this poem certainly wasn't intentional for I was feeling rather low during the time of writing it. Perhaps my subconscious was trying to cheer me up!

[Grimesy]

Maybe it was and I hope that you listened :)

[Michelle N. H.]

Hah, finishing those last lines did make me feel better, so I guess I did :)

[zainul]

Vow made to yourself to be good is very unique.
I love how honestly you wrote your feelings here.
It inspires others to start anew the journey of life defying any defeat of the past.
Thanks for sharing,talented poet.:)

[Michelle N. H.]

When it comes to poetry, honesty merely makes for a better read, I'd like to think. Thank you ever so much for your kind words, I appreciate your every letter! :)

[zainul]

You are always welcome.
I agree with you.
I am very glad to know that you appreciate my every letter!:)
