I’ve had to face a new world
As my life became unfurled
Right before my very eyes
Tangled in a web of lies

I turn my back to the wrath
Setting my feet upon a new path
Leading to the other side
Where in darkness I no longer hide

The sun shines brightly once again
Unaware of where I’ve been
It lights the way I must go
Although my heart already knows

I place my faith in the Lord above
Whose mercy is gentle as a dove
He alone forgives my sin
Allowing me to be born again

I have found an inner peace
Oh the feeling of sweet release
No longer weary from the fight
My soul has found new flight

With each day the dawn breaks
Over mountains, meadows, and lakes
Signaling yet another chance
To participate in life’s great dance

Please don’t let it pass you by
Dry the tears from your eyes
Go, my friend, and take part
Hurry before the music starts

Not one moment will you regret
The people that you have met
For each in some way makes a mark
Upon the surface of your heart


All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

So true so very very true!!   Excellent!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

"Not one moment will you regret
The people that you have met

Indeed..each would leave a mark......even if it is a wound at times

------------------------

A very well-done piece...........so full of wisdom

I simply enjoyed it........

Thank you

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

Oh the Dance of Life has many beats to it. May yours be filled with great harmony.

You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat
