~A New Beginning~

A certain reality is growing from my depths
A sort of realization of my fate
A self-defined destiny

A world of sorrowful memories is draining
Into a puddle of painful tears
Leaving my soul cleansed

I embrace this renaissance
And write in my tabula rosa
                           HOPE

Washing away the puddle with that which is pure
I reveal the many paths at my feet
Choosing love I walk proudly

Reaching and hoping for your hand.

'Every body has their destiny...
I'LL CHOOSE MY OWN'

Jason-
Hi there.  
I wasn't sure what to do upon reading your name gracing these forums. Yeah. Been a long while huh... Well I'm not certain what to make of this piece, and I do hope you'll enlighten us all a bit. I liked it though, and I saw a sort of calm happiness to it.

I liked this. Love is worth reaching for.

Don't be a stranger ok? Nice write.

Very interesting, Jason. Love is a tricky thing but I hope you find what you're looking for.

It's good to see you around our forums again. I look forward to more work from you soon.

I thought that was really cool.  And what's tabula rosa or whatever?  Pink tablet?  But it was nicely written.  

For now, all I can do is dream.

Well, first of all, thanks to every on the replied.  I really appreciate it.  
I miss all of you too.  Don't expect me around too much though; I'm really busy.  As far as the poem: I think it's pretty simple.  It's about getting over many years of sorrow and seeing life clearly again.
Oh and tabula rosa is supposed to mean blank tablet.  It's pronounced like it's spelled but I don't know if it's spelled like it's spelled.  My psychology profesor used the term to describe an infant’s brain the moment it is born.  It's used in a lot of textbooks as well, and the idea is we write in our tabula rosa (from the moment we are born until we die) the lessons we learn.

Thanks again
Jason
