Cutting Free.
Time moves on remorseless yet fresh starts
appear plausible
if from parched discord
we form opportunities from which to carve.
Clearer choices for cutting free expand lone
coaster-rides but tried
ways of surprise
adroitly harness colour into bland unknown.
Distress creates apathy while unrestrained
euphoria decrees
time for growing new wings
and chances to better breed later decades.
Relocated those truncated dreams retreat
to re-form, dried to a crisp
but soon freshly adorned with
made resolutions to avoid future defeat.
Hope succeeds if, skilful in competence,
we apply learned
wisdom to hear the unheard
for discarding the old needs no audience.
Pushing ahead, cutting new paths again
exalts over former
raw angst attempts to alter
past failure by wearing our skin unafraid.

"Cutting free" means leaving behind the baggage of the past, finding a new way, a new path, and using the education of experience to guide us to the right way. Well done Fay. Now if we all can just follow your advice. Try, try, try. good one. - Phil A.
Your poem is full of hope for the future in the face of failure. Nicely done. "From parched discord." Wow!
Every starting we see with freshness although time moves remorseless. We form opportunities more in life. Distress creates apathy. Being skillful in competence we get successes. Cutting new paths again this exalts over former attempts. Amazing expression makes this poem special.
Thank you for your kind summary of the above poem dear Pintu - am very grateful.
