I Am Just Getting Started

I'm just getting started on my new revised life Taken from cancer’s claws, I was spared And in the daunting morning light As I grasp the new branch of a life finally free In wonderment of judgement day My breath new against my breast, deeply I reach out to feel my way, alone Unsure of my direction ~ no secure compass With tentative steps unleashed from fear I am awash with delight at every corner I have taken wrong turns and fast u-turns No going back to a past long finished Alone has always been better than that Then I found you along my way Filling me with hope I leap ~ then run Circle back to you, for you are genuine Holding my hand as you let me play or go away I fly now toward new dreams and countries Taking chances, stretching beyond my known Not alone anymore if the fire returns to burn Yes, I'm just getting started on my new revised life Full of hope, encouragement, angel light Through fire you are forged to crystalline beauty Through love you are reborn in confidence Fly me to the moon on mended wings written 9-18-2019 I'm just getting started Poetry Contest 4th place Premium Sponsored by: John Hamilton
