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 .

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

Beautiful words, stunning imagery. After some of our worlds end we wish to start over, to be reborn in that world, in that perception again. Bravo. Indeed how pleasing the thought of being reborn. :)

The sensations and thoughts that surround the act of being reborn are captured stunningly. This is fresh, timeless, and provoking perspective on such a rare anomaly that only few are able to feel. I look forward to hearing more from you!
