Revised for a new Year,new Decade New Time

 I originally wrote this 3 years ago when a whole segment of my life was upside down, crawling sideways and going where I did not know.  


I know now.

New Tomorrows

By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney ©07

Revised11-10

Do you need to set eyes on what no longer sighed?

But chose now to prance across the tango waves?

My private audience for the new tomorrows...

Began yesterday.

It first started when the moon blared a not so tender farewell...

To what beckoned it there before the nigh?

The disclosure began before I knew what was happening

Nor could I stop it even if I had known how to

 I did not know how prepared I was for …

New Tomorrows

(At first)…

I grasp although tired

Tried

Tired

I could not see but I held on anyway

Though I did not know where I was going…

At that moment,

 I tap danced in a first light of new activation

No longer in a blissful ignorance

Or a sedentary agitation

But a luscious filled solitude

That no longer needed to be alone

So were my prayerful thoughts...

I pranced in a roundabout in an air of my delights

Blissfully bothered with what I have the sense to hear.

It did not matter if it seemed foolish to others

Or if I embarrassed anyone who was not invited to this promenade…

All those things…

All those things

All those things

Swollen in my belly that I wore for three long years…

Three long years…

Have been banished to the land of nevermore.

With no passport to return

For a time and a time and a time no more
