Cutting Free.
Time moves on remorseless yet fresh starts
appear plausible
if with parched discord
we form opportunities from which to carve.
Clearer options for cutting free expand lone
journey-rides for
tried appraisal days
harness bright colour into pallid unknown.
Distress creates apathy while unrestrained
euphoria decrees
time for chance-changes
to better breed happier emotional states.
Relocated those truncated dreams retreat
to reform, dried
to crumbs but soon adorned
in fresh resolutions to avoid future defeat.
Aims succeed if primed in skilled warning
we apply learned
wisdom, contented as solo
for discarding the old needs no audience.
Pushing ahead, cutting fresh cloth again
we bin stumbled
failures and letting choice gain
us empowerment wear our skin unafraid.
