A new beginning?

I see the mirror yet again,
Its gleaming surface—crystal clear.
I see myself, familiar face
Of constant suffering and fear.

I see behind me—burdened past,
Cold stares which pierce my fragile skin.
I wish to leave it all behind,
To seek a way to be redeemed.

I see my present, see my past,
My eyes are stuck, I can’t move on.
There is no future here for me,
Yet here I stay—frozen, alone.

I see the day, I see the night,
They pass by me, yet time is still.
Confusion flares through saddened eyes…
The distant scent of daffodils.

I was, I am, but will I be?
I cannot see past blurry glass.
The future I cannot control,
Only this moment which will pass.

I close my eyes and hope to break
The endless cycle of self-doubt.
What will I face? Awakened hope?
Or ancient fears which will devour
What’s left of this unyielding mould?

Da Capo al Poetry

GClef.svgThen, in the beginning, there was only music

And the music gave me tremendous delight.

It touched my whole being and my soul, entirely

And it brought me surely out into the light.

And the music led me to the place where my words

Echoed through my being, through my mind, my heart.

There, my thoughts, my feelings can be seen evolving,

Dancing as they’re making their way into art.
