Poems old and new

Dark night dawning


Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
Now is the time to know and to find
what makes me happy and not sad
feel free and fair to myself at last.


No longer in the grip of self-made hell
No more in the depths of misery I dwell,
for I found the right reasons and motives
to live with courage, and be ever positive.


It is time to shed burdens of the past
to rid my days of worry, anxiety and cast
my sorrows into the deep cleansing sea
of change, hope and fruitful activity.


Never again haunted by shadows of despair,
ghosts of dismay or misjudged for being fair.
It is time to give up prejudices born of impulse
rash conclusions, anger and rude responses.


Staying detached and dispassionate while facing
hate, malevolence, and needless insult and tracing
the ability to feel the peace within, finding light,
walk away from the dense darkness of fearful nights.
