    The Awakening
    THE AWAKENING

    Feeling free and alive
    Moving forward in time
    Opportunities abounding
    It can all be mine

    Learning new things
    Accepting changes each day
    Experience as much as I can
    Let life lead where it may

    Taking charge of my heart
    Thinking clearly and right
    Believe in myself
    Giving with all of my might

    Things happen for reasons
    No one can predict these
    With a Meaning and power
    It Teaches the soul to be free

    Letting go of the past
    Keeping it in perspective
    Not forgetting but letting
    and being objective

    Take what life gives
    Make the most of each day
    Keep hold of morals
    And let come what may

    Focused and determined
    Feeling refreshed and in tuned
    I will find what I need
    Becoming  renewed

    We can write our own future simply by letting our hearts show us the way....obstacles, get out of the way. A lovely piece of poetry, Purpleswan..........................................................gogant

    Super write I mean wOOt! The only flaws I feel is maybe how the beginning began with statement aka "Feeling" = present tense to ending with a "It can" = future. Present = is. Believe = do. Believing = doing. and last object that felt a lil quirky was "in tuned" lol the "in" feels extra? Overall well done!

    I would like to thank you first for the comments. I was thinking present to future in that first stanza so I guess it would appear out of sync. As for the end, I agree, it should read "in tune". thanks

    purpleswan, I enjoyed this poems message, written very smooth with nice rhythm...no bumps. For writing over just a year, you most definitely have talent with words and it rhymes beautifully. Great job!

    Thank you very much for your kind words. I was thinking progressively when I wrote this one, in hopes of accomplishing the end. Thank you again.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
