New Day

Tired soul,

wanders, aching,

no rest for the weary.

Broken path,

wrought with pain,

destination, hell.

Dark skies,

fortell of gloom,

fog envelops, suffocate.

Distant light,

minute speck,

gleam of hope renewed.

Warmth surrounds,

emerging life,

birth of another day.

Yesterdays vanish,

distant memory,

dawn lights a new path.

I'm glad you do, Lloyd, I wasn't sure if it was any good or not but I figured I'd throw it out there! :)

Thank you Sandra, I like to add hope to my writing, now, as it portrays my own feelings of coming out of devastation and onto a new "path" in my life.

it was getting quite dark,
glad the last stanza held
up some hope and light

Life does work that way many times, though...all seems dark and hopeless until the moment you realize there's something better ahead.

I like it. I believe that every day gives us a new day that is like a clean sheet of paper to write upon.
