Begin The New Poem by Gerry Legister

Begin The New



Begin the new with changes we have,
Moving burly barriers to breaking point,
We'll have to reach beyond ourselves to survive,
Torrid threats to ambush the safety of each moment.

All the lost impulses we attempt to rearrange
Make the complex conditions fall lower,
Then the renewal impact of seismic change,
Sweeping along earth disconcerted shore.

In summer, we trudge through the growing
Disbarment of unveiling apocalyptic nerves,
Nations arrived in stillbirth for a new beginning
Our old characteristics traits started displaying.

Dark personalities peering out black as the future,
Society got glimpse of the unstoppable conditions,
When the powers of distress will open a murky door
To claim an overwhelming living part of emotions.

The desired impression now being formed
Seek the kind of humanism that ultimately
Will abandon happiness to make a brand new end,
For everything in vice and ventures to embrace reality.

But there is a beautiful sunrise waiting to be born
And every day the possibility comes with pain,
To feel that ache before we reach our dream.
Life seems drained to start all over again.

But courage will adjust the aspiring sail
And every stride we take brings us to a higher plane,
Leaving memories to pour out in the distant grail
Mysteries of a daunting world congested in pain.
