Let the sadness pass through you (poem)

This sadness will fade

Let the sadness pass through you

Lost within sadness, feeling withdrawn and forlorn,
The warmth is beyond reach upon this sunny dawn.
There is too much sadness reaching into your heart,
The world around you seems to be falling apart.
The world around you has brought this sadness to you,
And within your world there seems to be no way through.

But this sadness you feel will not linger nor last,
Your world will change and this will fade into your past.
You may not be able to feel anything just now,
But that brighter day will come, for your heart knows how.
Your heart knows that as time passes, your heart will heal,
Even thought just for now, that is not how you feel.

Do not dwell on the sadness you have found here,
The world of sunshine will slowly rise and get near.
The world of sadness will slowly fade and withdraw,
You will find that your life will have meaning once more.
Just let this sadness within drift gently on by,
One day it will pass through you, leaving a clear sky.

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet (poem)

There is a dream in there somewhere

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet,
Although it may now seem that way.
It just that I sometimes forget,
To remember them upon this day.

They are all still there deep within,
Safe and secure within my heart.
So, perhaps it’s time to begin,
To seek out a dream to restart.

I will take a moment or two,
Remembering what they all were.
Then pluck one back into view,
And with my life, give it a stir.

It can wash away all the gloom,
That this world has installed in me.
In my mind, make plenty of room,
Preparing to set the dream free.

I will open my life once more,
To all that the dream has to give.
I will seek out happiness door,
And let this dream begin to live.

Should I worry or not? (poem)

What a choice to make at dawn!

Should I worry or not?

Should I worry or not? Just which should I do?
Which way should I choose, I have not got a clue.
Should I stay calm and serene, give a big smile?
Show that all is well, at least for a short while.
Or should I worry about what I’ve forgot?
Show everyone that I have lost the plot?
Not an easy choice in this new day that I see,
So let’s just choose between a coffee or tea.

What use is worrying? What would it achieve?
What benefit would the world or I receive?
I know that everything may not be right,
But does that mean I should worry and take flight?
Just what good would it do if I let fear win?
So with a touch of calmness, this day will begin.
Who knows, my worry’s may yet all fade away,
Dissolved by calmness as I walk through this day.

The ships of Love and Hope (poem)

Love and Hope are always around

The ships of Love and Hope

Within the storms of chaos,
Ride the ships of Love and Hope,
And when you are at a loss,
They will come to help you cope.
Sailing through inner turmoil,
Rescuing you from despair,
Guiding you to firmer soil,
And leaving you safely there.

Their sails stand tall and strong,
Their rudders guide you to the new,
Upon those ships you belong,
As they sail into your view.
From the raging sea of life,
They will lift you up onboard,
A refuge from all that strife,
From all that pain and discord.

Take the help they bring to you,
Let Love and Hope guide you now,
Trust in the changes they do,
For Love and Hope will know how.
Their ships are always around,
Sailing through every wave,
And when you want to be found,
They will always come and save.

Let the search for a new life begin (poem)

Finding your inner light once more

Let the search for a new life begin

Let the search for a new life begin,
Seeking a path away from the old.
Chasing all of the shadows within,
Seeking for a candle you can hold.
Turning your heart from its darkest night,
Turning your life towards a new dawn.
Letting fresh hope come into your sight,
Letting go of the dark and forlorn.

Opening up all of life’s windows,
Letting tomorrow come through the door.
Moving to where hopes sunrise now shows,
Letting your sadness be there no more.
Turning away from yesterday’s pain,
Turning towards where your life can restart.
Tomorrow’s hope is there to regain,
Just let its light back into your heart.

A life tossed into confusion (poem)

Life never stays the same

A life tossed into confusion

A life tossed into confusion, there’s too much going on!
What was is no more, just where in this world do I belong?
What I knew in my yesterday is not part of today,
The life that was within myself has gone another way.

The outside’s also changing, not all is where it should be,
Quite what will stay and what will go, I have yet to see.
Some things are being changed by others, some are all my own,
Some things won’t change at all, I think they are best left alone.

For now let’s deal with the inner me, find some shape once more,
Or at least hold it all together, not spread around the floor.
I will sit a while, reflect a bit, watch the clouds go by,
Maybe just accept all this, without understanding why.

My life is no longer what I thought life was all about,
But I know with my life, it’s up to me to sort it out.
Whichever way life tosses me, these changes I must face,
Wherever I land in life, I will explore that new place.

Life is neither good or bad, I’m just facing the unknown,
A scary place when you see that the past you have outgrown.
I’ll just let the changes happen, then choose the path to take,
Whatever happens in my life, that choice is mine to make.

Just let tomorrow come (poem)

Your life will get better

Just let tomorrow come

I can see that the tears upon your face are drying,
Even if to me, those tears you are still denying.
I know to yourself, that you want to keep it all within,
That in this pit of sadness, you feel you cannot win.
But your life is not over, it has only just begun,
And you will find in your life, that there is still a sun.
Just let tomorrow come, but for now just let things go,
Just let tomorrow come, for now just let your tears flow.

Do not fight this moment, but just leave this day alone,
Such a depth of sadness, you have never before known.
Your life may be in pieces, or that is how it seems,
But beyond all this sadness, you still have all your dreams.
You still have a future, it’s only lost for today,
And tomorrow’s happiness will, to you find its way.
Just let tomorrow come, but for now just let things be,
Just let tomorrow come, for now let your tears fall free.

Today will not be easy, and your life may feel slow,
I know you are convinced that this pain will never go.
But trust me when I say to you, this will never last,
That with a little patience, it will become your past.
Once this day is over, things will not then feel so blue,
For you will smile again, and the sun will shine on you.
Just let tomorrow come, but for now just hug your heart,
Just let tomorrow come, for a better life will start.

Hope can be found when all else is lost (poem)

You are never without hope

Hope can be found when all else is lost

Hope can be found when all else is lost,
For its seeds are found within your heart.
Hope has no price, it comes without cost,
For it’s been in your heart from the start.

Hope can be grown in any climate
Through a raging storm, it will survive
In darkness, hope seeds can germinate,
In emptiness, hope seeds can still thrive.

Hope can be carried throughout hard times,
It places no weight upon your life.
Through your darkness, the bell of hope chimes,
Guiding you through your troubles and strife.

Hope can be shared, you can let it go,
For when released, some hope will remain.
Within your heart, your hope will regrow,
And all that was shared out, you regain.

Hope can be forever, always near,
It never quite fades out of your view.
Just rest, and its strength will reappear,
Just stand up, and let its dreams guide you.

Starting a new life, part 3, arrival (poem)

This is part 3 of 3, part 1, the preparation, and part 2, the journey, are in the previous blogs

A new life found

Starting a new life, part 3, the arrival

I have arrived at a beginning, a new life to start,
A new world to explore that, from my past stands far apart.
On the edge of this new life, I can feel both hope and fear,
How will this new life treat me? Can I let this unknown near?
The sun has risen upon me, giving a clearer view,
It’s time to stop this hesitating, time to trust the new.

There is a place here for me, and off to there I shall go,
Then once I’ve unpacked my bits, this life I will get to know.
New people for me to meet, new places for me to see,
For a while I’ll just drift around, peacefully and carefree.
Then comes the challenge, to build a life where I will fit in,
So let’s find what I can do, and where my kindness can win.

Happiness is a moment away, inside us it sits,
It follows on from kindness, in its silhouette it fits.
Giving a part of myself, sharing myself where there’s need,
Will bring new life to me, growing in my heart as a seed.
Knowing that I make a difference, is my life’s new start,
But wherever you look, somewhere in life you play a part

Starting a new life, part 2, the journey (poem)

This is part 2 of 3, part 1, the preparation, and part 3, the arrival, are in adjacent blogs

Life on the move

Starting a new life, part 2, the journey

This journey towards a new life, is more than just a place,
If I want a new life, it’s my emotions I must face.
They are the greater challenge, to become better within,
And releasing all my anger, is where I shall begin.
I will not take it with me, as I travel round each bend,
I will find my peace, before this journey comes to an end.

I shall discard the bad memories, make space for the new,
Find the beauty in this world, enjoy all thats comes in view.
When I cross a bridge, I will toss my prejudices away,
I will pick up understanding, as I walk through this day.
If I meet a stranger, could I turn them into a friend?
There’s so much to learn, before this journey comes to an end.

I will let my hope set sail, let it seek the good in life,
Collect the strength to carry on, to cope with all my strife.
To seek a kinder world, a better life for me to live,
So much has life to offer, and so much have I to give.
I will seek a place to share my love, where my wounds can mend,
It’s coming into view, as this journey comes to an end.
