New Beginnings

New Beginnings


"Fates Entwined Are Not Denied"



From My Heart


When one door closes, another opens. We hear that so often in life, and, for whatever reasons, have such a difficult time believing it...until it happens. Time does really move on, and we make new starts. For each loss, there seems to be a gain, a new opportunity, a lesson learned. There are endless possibilities in life, not always what we hoped for perhaps, but still possibilities. I open my eyes to those and look forward, still remembering, hopefully using the past to make the future better. With new beginnings, new hopes and new dreams are found.

      New beginnings.
      The sun breaks through the
      Dwindling rain and clouds,
      Dazzling stripes of color
      Arch across the sky,
      Catching rays of light
      And dancing in my vision,
      Just beyond reach
      But close enough to dream
      Of touching, and
      Close enough to dream
      That it might become reality.
      And in the parting clouds
      I see your image.

      Dreams
      An old dream, lost,
      A dream deferred,
      Or still envisioned,
      A dream achieved
      Or altered or redefined,
      There is always a dream.
      There is always hope
      And with you
      Dreams become reality
      And hope is rewarded.

      Fantasy?
      Tantalizing fantasy,
      A silent voice reaching to me,
      Words without sound
      Filling my imagination,
      Creating an illusion
      Of closeness and connection,
      Creating an illusion of love,
      Of sharing and caring,
      Without speaking,
      Saying all the right things,
      Touching my soul with
      The warmth of understanding
      And caressing my heart
      With moments of hope
      For time together
      And lives connected,
      Beyond the silence of the
      Flickering scene,
      Beyond the power of words,
      Beyond what we have ever known,
      Til I start to wonder
      Where the illusion ends and
      Where the reality begins.

      Questions
      Is the dream the reality
      Or is reality the dream?
      Do we see clearly
      Or clearly not see?
      Can we keep it separate
      Or will it separate us?
      Can we not be free
      Yet still be free?
      Will we find a way
      Or will we be found?
      Will we walk the road together
      Or will we both be lost?

      You are all to me,
      My dream and my reality
      My salvation, my loss.
      I close my eyes and see clearly
      Open my eyes and the clarity dims.
      I feel on the right path,
      Yet irretrievably lost.
      I push you away and
      I draw you close...and closer
      And keep you within the shelter
      Of caring and hoping,
      Of wanting the dream.
      I know I should go
      But I remain, and I will remain
      With you, I will keep dreaming,
      With you.


For All Those Tomorrows So Full of Promise
