BraNd New*

a lease of fresh new life...
like the smell of rain as it falls on the soil...refreshing,
like the sight of a lake in the middle of a desert,
though it be a mirage, it instills some hope,
like the sight of your loved one returning home after a long day...
knowing that the assurance of return was absent....revitalizing.
like the bud of a new plant just emerging from the soil...rebirth...so
i look to the sky, to the hills, and the magnificent mountain glades ahead,
i look back at the rough terrain and the thorns and the blood and the tears
that trailed my path, i know that it took a miracle to get me to this point...
i thank you God.

there is much more to come, much more to expect,
those whose names i have engraved on my mind, i thank you
for a lovley walk...
and for the particular names, which lay in pieces on the metallic - wooden floor,
together with a heart that was once intact.... all is behind us now...
it is a new year, a new beginning.
lets strengthen the bonds and let the by gones be so...

those toes i stepped on in the discourse of my duties in this life,
there is enough robb and elastoplast to heal you, no regrets
those whose skin still stings with the swords that may have come forth to you
in the form of untimley inappropriate words spoken, lets turn a new slate,
it is a new year, a new beginning.
lets strengthen the bonds and let the by gones be so...

turning a new slate...a fresh page....
i dont turn leaves, they belong to trees.

kich...
