fog retreats

the tears that
flowed again
now stopped

the fog that
crept back in
now retreats

the joy that
once was hidden 
now shines

Forward

my life is full

of twists and turns

of joy and pain

and lessons learned

my life goes forward

backwards too

and sometimes sideways

through and through

my life is blessed

in spite the strife

the goal is forward

in my life.

how does one open doors closed tight

with broken dreams 

upon the floor

with shattered heart

and wanting more

how does one open 

doors closed tight

and dream again

in morning light?

amid the loss

the words still come

no longer worried now

of sounding dumb

they come from heart

from deep within

and stronger now

not giving in

the door once closed

is open now

the pieces turned

and fit somehow

the broken dreams

once on the floor

recovered now 

a chance to soar

the heart once stilled

bruised and battered

finds love again 

no longer shattered.
