Awareness is the Spark of a New Beginning – luvgram

Hello everyone;

I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"

Not Dead Yet, Me

Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.

Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.

Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.

Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.

Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Awareness is the spark of a new beginning.

Everything that we become and create begins with a new awareness. An awareness may as soft and gentle as a kiss on the cheek that becomes a lifelong relationship. Or this awareness could feel like an emotional earthquake shaking us to our cores in a way that nothing looks the same afterward.

However awareness comes, it is a gift of clarity and brings new possibilities. It is our chance to see ourselves, our roles, our humanity in a new light.
