(NEWNESS OF LIFE)

I have been sitting around this life for years,
With not enough laughs but too many tears;
Trying to figure out "where it all went"
These wasted years that I have spent.
Searching for something to go beyond,
Life is a stone skipping across a pond;
And at the last skip, it hits with a splash and down the stone sinks, gone in a flash.
Thrusting and pulling, its tearing apart;
Poking and spurring an underused heart,
This dark velvet curtain that hides my soul
Living this life has taken its toll,
And I a flash of bright light, the curtain is torn.
Tumbling down all tattered & worn;
Revealing a new life, a new me;
A child within
A child born free of hate, of suffering and sin,
Now my eyes sees what has been told
Striving forth happy, confident & bold.
Into a new world, a world that is unfamiliar but friendly,
Into this new life my spirit will send me;
Living and laughing, loving it all.
I stood myself up & answered the call,
The darkness has gone, replaced by light;
I give up the darkness with hardly a fight.
And now I can see just where it all went;
And I will cherish every moment of this new life that I have found...
