Sweet Bouquet

SWEET BOUQUET

Life, So full of surprises

Amazing sunsets

Glorious sunrises

But the point I find

And comes to mind

Is the peace, that settles in

When around us, we begin

To know, we are not alone

And the beginning of a path

Is shown

How absolutely amazing

As the curtain is raising

To step on stage

As more of a sage

And realize the errors

Of the past made

Are not repeating

As that part of me

Doth fade

To see the inner self revealed

That one has self-concealed

Is evidence of one healed

And no longer in need

Of a shield

The fear now

Is of the unknown

For the path

From which I was honed

Has opened up

And more clearly shown

And it seems

No longer much left

For which to atone

When your way to live

Is to others give

And you’re spent

In your attempt

To serve

As if you yourself

Do not deserve

You find yourself in solitude

Undeserving of gratitude

However,

When one to you doth give

A new experience you doth live

Thank you for being there

For sharing

And showing you care

T’is hard to

Tear oneself apart

When you know

Within your heart

That on a new direction

You did start

It won’t be long

When I look back and reflect

On how everything

Did interconnect

And how my life,

It did affect

For now I will

Live each day

And in gratitude pray

For showing me

This new way

The joys of life

And it’s sweet

Bouquet

Well, take from this one what you will. Like any other art, it will mean something different to each person who reads it. To some it will speak to them and to others it will be poorly written. I have learned to not assume anything. I write about my feelings as well as those things that come to mind that may not be from me but observations I make.
