I pack up all my things
At last I remove my ring
No longer will I be bound
To walk on sacred ground
I am out on my own
Like a leaf from the tree blown

I am free to roam
Away from this home
On the wiind my spirit soars
Nothing but open doors
Appear along the way
Nearby a butterfly plays

I feel light as the warm air
After accepting your dare
I meet your puzzled gaze
As we continue to the next phase
In time truth will be revealed
And at last my heart will be healed

I am ready come what may
Looking ahead to another day
When I will wear a smile
Although maybe not for a while
Strength will be shown
A new love will be known

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

Yes !  Yes !  Yes !

'I am ready come what may
Looking ahead to another day
When I will wear a smile
Although maybe not for a while
Strength will be shown
A new love will be known'

Forward ever ... backward never
Glad to see the strength !

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Wow! Straight from your heart my friend, beautifully expressed. Take care!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown
