New Life Story - Sarah Heart
What once was still
Is now gently moving
What once felt ill
Is surprisingly soothing
Fear of the unknown
Is suddenly exciting
That blind step forward
Now seems inviting
Just waking up
After a long restless sleep
Releasing those layers
I no longer wish to keep
I once felt lost
But thankfully I've found
A healer inside me
With wisdom profound
Frequent night dreams
Of sad casket scenes
As I push through
The old one screams
Reborn anew
What waits before me?
Can't wait to explore
My brand new life story
For Warmth
I hold my face in two hands.
No, I'm not crying.
I hold my face in two hands
to keep the loneliness warm —
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger.
— Thich Nhat Hanh

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony." Mahatma Gandh
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next." Gilda Radner
"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography" Federico Felini
