A New Day




Your petal hangs
 lifeless,
fragile
waiting for me to breathe into you.
The wilderness has been trying
you wrestled with the choices
and your faith.
Awaken your desire to stand ,
to exhale
to watch the crossroads
as a challenge,
as a new day.
Watch the geese glide over
the lake
and dream that you are whole
 once again.

    This poem has a reflective sadness...and yes, the dream of wholeness. If only....

    Sometimes the pieces take a while to become whole again, if ever

    and perhaps they will be whole again...maybe they are just waiting
    for the right person to breathe life on them...

    It is good for those who feel broken to have someone who can give them hope and make them see they can be whole again.

    I wonder if a person dreams he/she is whole if that will expedite the process for actually becoming whole?

    Groovy piece. Love the ending with the geese gliding over the lake along with the contemplation that brings about.

    Someone to stand beside you and breath into you when needed is a true blessing.

    The part about awakening to stand and view crossroads as a new day and challenge is fantastic. That is a great way to live.

    Ah.. the dream of being whole.. one dreams it.. one dreams it.. one dreams it again and again.. and finAlly remembers it was never a dream...

    the dream of being separate.. the real dream.. the nightmare of a
    lone.. that never really is.. but somewhere deep lost

    in mines of minds..

    Smiles and Happy Halloween..2..:):)1

    Somehow reminds me of the Dal lake in Kashmir.... Not that I have ever been, but the pictures I've seen come flashing to my mind when I read and re-read this.
