Paradise

Having  the  time  to  reflect  on  self,

I’ve  come  to  realize  that  what  I  seek  is  within  me.

I’ve  wallowed  in  self  doubt,  and  in  the  process

I’ve  put  creative  dreams  on  hold.

Always  making  excuses  for  what  I  can’t  do  and  why,

And  what  I  don’t  have  time  for.

The  years  have  slipped  away  for  making  dreams  a  reality.

The  years  have  slipped  away,  but  time  allows  for  second  attempts,

For  me  to  make  the  best  of  time  that’s  left.

I  see  so  clearly  now,  and  my  senses  are  alive.

I  feel  revived  as  if  a  new  me  has  been  born.

With  a  new  sense  of  self,  I  will create

What  might  be  the  masterpiece  of  a  lifetime.

A  masterpiece  to  make  me  weep  tears  of  joy

That  I  accomplished  what  I  set  forth  to  do.

I’ve  decided  to  put  fear  aside,  and  make  my  dreams  a  reality.

I  shall  try  once  again  without  reservation.

Having  the  time  to  reflect  on  self,

I’ve  come  to  realize  that  what  I  seek  is  within  me.

It’s  Creativity.

It’s  Happiness.

It’s  Paradise.

Changes

Leaves fall and change their shades.

Beautiful new hues emerge.

Rainfall washes the Earth,

And reveals a fresh outlook.

When flowers bloom

Life is renewed once again.

The sun shining upon us gives off such intensity,

That we feel inspired again.

Changes.

You may have and You may not,

But you can’t bury your head in your hands.

Look towards the sky with arms spread out wide

As if You are the Sun’s child,

And ask for the answers that You need.

But be patient.

Soon enough You will see

That You shall have again.

Changes can be beautiful.
