Elysian Dreams by BJ Neblett
Change is never easy, be it moving across country or moving through the loss of a loved one. I have had my share of moving as well as a loss. You never fully get over either, you just keep going. Here are a couple of poems: an oldie for the heart and a more recent one for the soul.

A single tear
Washes away
Water colored lies
Slain by the guilt
Of promises broken
Tomorrow dies
For Robin
Encore

Starting over
again
Tired old city tired old faces
Tired old friends
Been there and done that
Like a stuck record
repeat repeat
repeat repeat
Tired old questions tired old answers
Tired old fears
Starting over
again
Different city different faces
Different friends
Carousel of time
Ticket paid with tears
around
around around
around
Different questions different answers
Different fears
Starting over
again
Greeting challenges seeking horizons
Facing new days
Awaken dreamer
Everest to climb
higher
higher
higher
higher
Answering new questions reaching new horizons
Facing new fears
Starting over
no
