ALONG THE PATH OF NEW BEGINNINGS
I feel the dawning of the new day
feel the easy peaceful existence of days gone by
Each fallen leave recognizes the fact so often ignored
With each new day
and each new beginning
there is the closing of the old
yet it is still the same path
the same trees
the same life
the same you
and the same me
I smile for the first time in days
with recognition of ancient truth
I feel the gentle breeze brush my skin
my spirtit takes flight
high along the edges of the towering cliffs
just now rising
rising out of the out of the morning mists
Many a nature's creature still sleep
save those nocturnal ones that just now
slowly make way to cozy nests and hidden havens
now deeply in forest shadows
covered amid vivid greens and earthy browns
I let the silence comfort me
renewing my desire to fly
to be free
as my soul demands wind and wing
Sometimes freedom can only be found
in new beginnings
new beginnings on paths of yesterday
