A light breeze
I look out
Across the open seas

I breathe deep
And release slow
My life
Is finally on the go

My destination
Is quite unclear
But in my heart
I hold no fear

My aspiration
For a new life
Endless possibilities
On a road without strife

My vision of
A new start
With no dramatic conflict
And a freshly healed heart

Today is the day
I get a second chance
To learn
This beautiful dance

The beating of my heart
Is the rhythm of my drum
To lose myself
Is a moment yet to come.

My Drum

Blue skies

Across the open seas

I breathe deep
And release slow
My life
Is finally on the go

My destination
Is quite unclear
But in my heart
I hold no fear

My aspiration
For a new life
Endless possibilities
On a road without strife

My vision of
A new start
With no dramatic conflict
And a freshly healed heart

Today is the day
I get a second chance
To learn
This beautiful dance

The beating of my heart
Is the rhythm of my drum
To lose myself
Is a moment yet to come.

It's a definate fact that one can write something out of nothing and make so much sense out of it. It seems as though our minds hold the power and thoughts that our subconcious mind hides from the world and ourselves. Sometimes it will come in dreams and these words are a helpful hint in life that something may occur in the future in which this poem may explain precisely. Keep this in thought. Great Poem.

you had good rhythm and rhyme in this. i liked the ending. i dont really care for the concept, but you at least wrote it well. as for these lines, "A new start
With no dramatic conflict"....my new starts dont last more than a few days ::sighs::

You are right, of course ... the last line would work either way ... as IS ... or IN. Imagine ... me not seeing that till I read it a third time.
( just kidding )

Nice post T.
