ANEW

By Ezra Mendoza

Do you want to say goodbye?

Farewell to your far- fetched dreams

Fears and twisted opinions

Heartaches

Tossed wishes

But oh why, could they be fixed?

Will the broken be restored?

The aches would not anymore be painful

How about the twisted words?

May they be straightened?

We wish, we long, we hope

But then, we fear and shed a tear

Hope, faith, love. . .all we love

But do we get it all together?

Straight paths, there we go

Curves, we hate

Faces, we gaze

Places, we tread at a slow pace

We understand a little

We judge a little more

We desire for great things and ignore the least

Ambitions grapple our thinking

PSYCHE is for grand

And what’s with the mind and the hand?

Mind? Thoughts!

Hands?

Two hands we have

Left and right, do what’s right

But,  how about the heart?

Don’t tell me, you forgot

To love and feel

Is your head now smaller than your heel

And that you don’t care of how others feel?

Pause. Think.  Change.

It’s not too late

It’s better than just to wait

Kiss your mistakes away

Embrace challenges

Inspire others

Have passion

Live and breathe anew!
