New Dreams

It's a new day
In a new way
And I wake up to a dream
So different from yesterday's

A new sun
is shining bright
and sparkling in my eyes
is my new life

A dream that I saw
before I knew what it was
The dream that lost meaning
As I fit into a practical life


That dream has come again
Shining in my eyes with the sun
And it is changing the meaning
Of how life had once begun


New challenges are burgeoning
on this new path to come
But I look out of my window
and smile with the sun


I know it won't be easy
I know it will transform
But I still look forward
To this new dream unborn.

Convulsions and Convolutions

The convulsions and convolutions of the networks in my head

Are tiring my person and killing the joy of bread

The stories that start in deep dark history

Are ruining the present and the future's mystery

The visions and sights clicked in the past

Are blurring today and this might not last

The sounds of music and cries I once heard

Are making a cacophony with this little bird

So wish I could clear out the clutter

Close the doors and pull the shutters

I wish somebody binds me in chains and locks

So I can't turn back and look at the blocks

Live and laugh in today's time and day

Dance in the sun and make all hay

Forgive, forget and keep moving on

Everyday in my life I want to sing a new song.

New horizons

The climb was tedious and all uphill,

Time was not testing my strength

but slowly and steadily gnawing at my will,

I thought I'd pass out before I reach the top,

I thought I'll fall and join the drowning lot.

But all the while something kept me going,

Some rivers within me refused to stop flowing.

Some birds that took flight refused to rest

Some cinders dying refused to give up their zest.

Some hands held on, and pulled me through

Some shoulders went down to push me up the roof.

Some smiles just refused to vanish

Some hearts had faith that refused to tarnish.

And that day has finally come,

When I am high enough to see the sun

work its magic on the valley below,

Its light is sharp but its warmth is slow.

Today the light is playing on my palm

Its making new figurines and playing with my calm

It's rekindled the cinders that are burning my lead

It's igniting new visions within my head.

Now that I have climbed so close to the sky

Its time to spread my wings and learn to fly.
