From the path to your heart?
The bend is just 'round the corner
To a road that says restart
The place where you stand
With your quiet lonely joy
Is a perfect place to learn
The path to a man is from a boy
Because the way to happiness
Cannot bypass the highway of sadness
The tolls paid on your roads of gray
Leads to future bridges of gladness
From your poverty
You'll share your treasure
The seasons of trouble
Transforms into pleasure
To get where you wish
It's silly to expect you'll come to it where you stand
To go somewhere you have to move
Get lost! Make mistakes!
It's part of the action plan
Lost your way
From the path to your heart?
The bend is just 'round the corner
To a road that says restart

Beautiful, this is just awesome. Sometimes, one just really need to press the restart button. If only it was as easy as said...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to post this on my blog, hope you don't mind. With a link back to you of course ;)
Perhaps the best way I can define 'restart' is to choose life as opposed to resisting the experience. To choose as opposed to accept. One resigns the self, the other expands the self.. and from that opening life is perfect and the imperfections are part of the drama of life....which you can play with so many different emotions and not be hijacked by emotion. And maybe... appreciate the human experience more.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannette,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the beautiful poem. It really touched my heart. Thank you also for understanding more than most people do. I'm anxious to begin again.

Every day in the life of someone who is depressed is just another day. It takes effort to break out of that cycle. Those who can break out, even for one day and say: Today will be a good day!
ReplyDeleteIs truly a hero.
Thanks for the message.
This is beautifully and elegantly written from the depths of your soul. You look so deeply into everything in life, as I do. But your gift goes beyond what I have seen here so far. All styles are unique and different and wonderful, but yours my friend is now a favorite of mine! I can't wait to read more.
