The Universe

Source: WeHeartIt

Once that door opened

When I saw the possibilities

I knew the time was now

No more holding on…

holding back…

pretending to be someone

I could never be…

 

I saw my future

The possibilities awaiting

No lies…

No manipulation…

No ego getting in the way…

 

The stars called my name

Begging me to follow

Challenging me to

take that one chance…

All I had to do was …

Just open the door

Walk away

And become

one with the stars …

New Beginnings

Source: Unknown

Starting over

Never looking back

The past is the past

and nothing more

People…

Places…

Things…

All forgotten

All unnecessary

 

The only thing

that matters now

is New Beginnings

and looking forward

to what life has

to offer …

Rain…

Source: We Heart It

The smell of rain

That scent of freshness

filling the air

as the world weeps

brings back memories

 

Good…

 

Bad…

 

But either way

a sense

of renewal…

of new beginnings…

of starting over…

 

Fresh…

Clean…

New…

Moving Forward

Source: We Heart It

Riding on a 

river of tears

I am taken to 

new places…

new worlds…

new experiences…

 

Washing away the

past and the pain

Freedom….

Moving forward

Never looking back

Life goes on…

Change…

Source: Unknown

Just as the seasons

change so do our hearts

They can close down

to everything…

to everyone…

hardened like steel

refusing to break

 

But…

 

Just when it seems

all hope is gone

 

And…

 

The heart will

never find peace again…

never feel love again…

never give love again…

 

The sun breaks through

leading the way to

 

A…

      New Beginning

After the Rain…

All my tears are gone

 

After the Rain…

Pain~

Washed clean

 

After the Rain…

The sun broke through

 

After the Rain…

Rainbow’s End

 

After the Rain…

New Beginnings

My eyes on

Clean mind…

Open Heart…

 

Settled Soul

A New

Beginning…

A New Day…

Dance With Me

Source: We Heart It

Dance with me

she said

I’m drunk he

replied

 

Yet…

 

She snuggled

into his arms

and nestled under

his chin

Safe…

Secure…

Desperation…

 

He held her close

closed his eyes

and breathed 

in her youthfulness

Remembered…

Wanted…

Finally —

Let go…

 

Looking back on

that day she still

wonders what

happened

to the man

who in dancing

gave them

new life…
