A New Beginning

It's something I'd gotten used to
Like curtains drawn in a room 
Darkness you don't really notice
A comforting feeling of gloom 

Now those curtains are open 
And I am shielding my eyes 
I think I'm starting to enjoy it 
And it's come as quite a surprise

For a future has opened before me 
That I had trouble seeing before
Because I looked back, reflected and wondered
If it hadn't all happened before 

But now I'm bathing in sunlight 
It's nice to be out of the dark 
Like the feeling you get on a warm summers day
While having a stroll in a park

Hi Russell,

"Saturday in the park, you'd think it was the Fourth of July".  

Your words are very beautiful, and bring tears to both my eyes

Your thoughts go very deeply, you've exposed your loving soul

As a new poet now on Cosmo, you I do extol

You see that I have commented on your beautiful poem with one of my own.  You will find, that on Cosmo, this is the ultimate honor bestowed upon a fellow poet.  Your words move me deeply, and I think you have a wonderful future in store for you with us, your new family.

Peace and Love,

Larry xxx
