My Latest Poem....

Self Discovery…..



Discovery was the rebirth my soul desperately needed and I drank it in.
Just like the desert smiling up into a summer, midday lengthy rain shower.
To live my life was like reading a book with chapters all out of order.
The day I was given realization was the beginning to a new way of life.

Clarity of mind, along with reasons for behavior eradicates decades of worry.
A seeming eternity of hills and valleys is replaced by serenity and unwavering balance.
Smiles are more frequent, as having a second childhood full of wonder and awe.
I want to climb to the highest peak and shout about hope, aspirations and possibility.

It was if my soul was bound tightly, held prisoner, allowed only to wish of freedom.
All thoughts of liberty wandered around the compass, but always settled upon death.
Loss of life was not the solution and all attempts were met with continued existence.
Beliefs of only an ending were suddenly replaced by views of favorable new beginnings.

I find it difficult to remember the dread once felt as it is replaced by comfort and ease.
Life is a gift, no matter how cliché, and how could I have been so ready for it to cease.
Advocate of living is where my heart is now, and I am testimony to all is possible.
Friends are a necessity for this journey, so do not hesitate to ask for a hand to hold.

Aspire to reach new goals and allow those old thoughts of despair to die in the dust.
Each and every day is an opportunity for new experiences and uncovering lost joys.
Live life relentless and no matter if there is sun or rain, enjoy the day with appreciation.
Discovery was the rebirth my soul desperately needed and I drank it in.
