A door closing

A new page in the book

Quit your dozing

And take a look

A new chapter of life

Old decisions don’t matter

Cut out the past with a knife

What happened before was just a slice on the platter

Get ready for what’s ahead

Don’t stay on the past

Don’t write the book you’ve already read

And don’t go down the hill fast

Start something new

Try something scary

Begin something fresh

And it ...

When something comes to an inevitable close

That it will not matter anymore

That may end up forgotten by most

And why it is even there just to hurt, shame, or bore

You have to just remember

That what happens back then, no matter how atrocious or strange

That what you did yesterday or in September

Are just ways to make you learn how to change

Because life is packed with changes that serve as a s...

When I was a kid, I have many dreams. All of my thoughts were about how to make it happen. So, just like others, fighting for what I believed. Along the way, ups and downs, happy and sadness, brought even more joy to my daily life. I was hopeful for the future and confident that my dreams will become true.

All these wonderful things suddenly stopped as a unexpected event striked me. I was dia...

Is your depth perception skewed?

I wonder as I’m just looking at you.

This being one of my first glances and thoughts.

Maybe it’s just completely shot.

You see the surface and are aware.

Yet to you that’s all that’s really there.

The chest at the middle of the maze,

is something you search for many days.

Perhaps you lack intuition.

Or is my pessimism just a condition,

you wouldn’t want to...

In a world of shadows, where darkness did reside,

A soul emerged, battered, but with a flicker deep inside.

A rough childhood, a path filled with pain,

But a new beginning awaited, like a gentle rain.

As the years went by, this soul grew strong,

Learning to rise above the things that went wrong.

With every setback, they found the strength to cope,

Nurturing resilience, filling their heart with ho...

Everyday I wake up and the sun rotates the entire way around the Earth just to say hi to me

And on days I’m stricken with insomnia the moon stays up just to keep me company

The sky is a canvas of blue that changes colors each day to suit the paint in its canvas

Black at night to let the stars shimmer brilliantly like gemstone piercings on the velvet fabric of reality

Shades of every color to ...

If only I face the past

So this life of mine will last

If only I didn’t fear the ruin

Too many loose screws to screw in

Yet, here I am stuck on a ledge

Only way is back which I can’t kedge

If I stay here I go nowhere

If I leave the fears will ensnare

But I am already covered in scars

From my skin, my heart, emotional bars

So I turn, make my way back

Yes, I faced all that I lack

And you ...

Chill winds carry dark tidings —

death whispers on unseen wings.

A heavy white blanket covers the land.

Silence.

The freeze is indiscriminate;

it takes all —

trees, animals, humans, plants, life.

Gone.

Through the snow, life struggles.

Pushing past flakes and ice —

a sprout.

Life renewed....

The forest is quiet.

Even the trees are still,

Expectant for the first

Glimpse of sunrise.

Even the lake, which

Was covered in whitecaps

All day, is perfectly still.

If it were colder, I’d think

The lake was frozen

From an early bout of

Winter, too early

For the snow.

There. A song

Pierces the air,

Splitting over the water.

A pinecone falls from

A tree, thudding against

The ground before

Rollin...

Something is thawing

I can feel it

There’s a warmth inside of me

My ice is breaking

But that’s good

I’m finally ready to be at sea

I don’t know what’s in store

But I can’t wait

To see what my life will be

Now that I’m unfrozen

The sun is warm again

Now that I am choosing me...
