the long search

When you have nowhere to go, go back to yourself.

Soul's New Song


Don't look back
It will tug at your heart
Let the past go
Let go of the memories
And the clutching pain.

Soon the stars will fade
The blackness of the night will melt
In the soothing lights of a new dawn
Tomorrow will be another day
Tomorrow will have a new sun.....


*Wishing you all a soulful New Year*

Hopefully.... there will be a new sun for me too...

I'm not in a very good shape right now... this sort of lifted me up a little

Thanks!

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.


Happy New Year Siba.

You're spot on. You can say that was the inspiration for this post.

Time for all of us to step into that new dawn. And move forward together.

Thanks Kesh for liking it. I am so glad.

Take care and Happy New Year again.

Girl,

There'll be a new sun for all of us. Just move forward to that dawn, and you will see it.

I'm not sure if my post lifted your spirits but keep coming back. Know that you're not alone.

Thanks for dropping by.

God bless you and Happy New Year.

You perfectly put it, I say. To make room for something new, you have got to remove the old. That's what a dear friend of mine always keeps saying.

Happy New Year to you, Di.

Thanks a ton, Agnes. Your level of energy simply amazes me.

How'z India treating you and Geoff? Do update your post.

Thanks for finding time for mine.

*cheers*

That was really wonderful. I never knew you had a poet in you. There's nothing more positive than a sunrise to reiterate our faith that there's always hope for a bright day after a dark night.
A very happy new year.
Kasty

Talking To My Soul 2 January 2009 at 18:22  

-->Kasturi

Heyy thanks, Kasty. But I would like to believe that there is no poet in me. Nope. Yes, some words were lying cluttered in my mind. I somehow did manage to put them in order. That is all.

Thanks for dropping by. Happy New Year to you too.

*cheers*

Lena 3 January 2009 at 22:20

You changed your template again, I like it! I loved the old one as well.

Great to know you and Geoff had fun in India. Do come back. And hope to see some posts and pictures of your India trip soon.

I too liked my old template but it threw up some technical problems. So found New Year the perfect time for a change.

Thanks again, Agnes.

*cheers*

Q 10 January 2009 at 05:22  

Dear Talking To My Soul,
Each day is a new song....I lov ethat. I love the idea of creating my own song each day. Each a chance to have an adventure, a chance to smile and share. Thank you for this poem. I am grateful I have met you, so very delightful!
I will be reading your journal and catching up. I hope to see some birds or some butterflies!
Namaste,
Sherry

Thank you so very much, Sherry. Thanks for those lovely words.

-->Keshi


Ah!I Know What You Did last Summer, Kesh! I Still Know...

I mean Freddie Prinze Jr! You meant him! It's because the picture is a little on the darker side; hazy too giving out such an impression.

Anyways, I will take it anyday from you, Kesh. THANKS. AGAIN.
