A New Life
This new life that you found,
at the beginning what was it like?
Oh! Mountains, streams,
babbling brooks, grass so green,
and the trees that grow so silently.
Hush now can’t you hear the wind?
As it rushes through your hair,
wild as you tumble through your life.
Then the here and now become
now, not then.
The new life begins,
mind opens wide,
words come in fast,
so fast it’s hard to put them down.
Inside a joy wells up,
how I love this life,
so free from all anxiety,
no chains to lock away,
the energy that grows and grows.
First one Step, then another,
slowly at first, then growing faster,
now I have reached a canter.
Words pour from my soul,
my mind, and most of all
my Heart is full of love
for all things beautiful on earth.
Nothing now to stop the flow,
it keeps coming forth,
there is no stopping it.
Memories rush to come,
thoughts of the past,
and what my life has done,
to deserve this new serenity.
