Into View

Every day that passes
every page turn of the calendar
brings with it, comfort.

As I get further away
from that day and its icy cold abyss-
the distance diminishes its impact.

Each turn of the earth
brings me closer to the sun
the light and all the life
it carries in its wake.

The life inside the birdsong
The beetle skittering by-
the green growth down low
the woodpecker up high.

I welcome the distance from the season
the grieving, the sickness, the heaving
I look ahead and up to the hues
that take me away
and breathe life
into view.

Beautiful. Your piece speaks for moving past the misery, walking forward to brightness because with each new day, you move closer to your best self. Don't be the person stuck in the past, be the person aiming for the future. You learn from your mistakes, and with every step, you are breathing in a new look on life. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading.
