Poetry, Art, Life

It’s the end of the beginning
The last chapter has closed
My pen hits the paper
And writes a story untold

A new lust for life
A passion reborn
For all second chances
I had thought to mourn

No longer held back
Life begins anew
My time has come forth
And it roars through my soul

I tip back my head
Let loose a raging fire
And yell “Watch out world!
I’m here to take over!”

*Note: Divorce is such a wonderful thing

Desolate in the wake
Of desires reawakened
Then left behind
Life a mystery that
No one can solve
Beneath the surface
Roiling thoughts
Bubble with want, need
Desperate to feel
To hold, to touch
It comes to the surface
Fighting for air
A way to achieve
What was lost
Can now be found
Swallowed whole
Breathed in
The luxury bequeathed
And taken for all it is

Heartrending pain as my life rips apart.
Tears fall from heaven but they don’t ease my heart.
I cry for what was and never will be.
And say goodbye to a past that holds nothing for me.
I look ahead to a future full of uncertainty.
And feel all the doubt begin crowding on me.
I don’t know where to turn, which direction to go.
To follow the dreams buried so far down below.
But with no rings on my finger, and a prayer in my heart.
Diana, Dear Goddess, help me make this new start.
An old dream dies, a new one begins.
A leaf turns over, the pain fades within.
I know where I stand, and what I believe.
I look at the land and feel it cry out to me.
“Take control of your life, release all the doubt.
Don’t feed the pain that comes from without”.
As the wheel of time turns, pain comes and goes.
It’s time to learn what I can, and use it to grow.
From all misery a seed is brought forth.
Give it time to take root, let new leaves spring forward.
As new life begins, my branches spread wide.
The birds come to nest, the little ones learn to fly.
Take heed of the life the world has brought to me.
Ashes to dust I will learn from that tree.
