Time moves remorselessly on and fresh starts <br />appear plausible if from parched discord <br />new opportunities in life begin being carved. <br /> <br />Clearer choices for cutting free expand lone <br />untried coaster-rides, random surprise days <br />adroitly harness the colourful unknown. <br /> <br />Distress creates apathy, unrestrained <br />euphoria decrees time for growing, and <br />new decades breed offers of chances denied. <br /> <br />Truncated dreams retreat, are relocated <br />in seared defeat, dried to a crisp, have died. <br />but will leave fresh resolution to aim upward. <br /> <br />Hopes succeed if skillful wise competance <br />is applied, while success is it's own reward <br />and discarding old colour needs no audience. <br /> <br />Pushing ahead, cutting new dreams again <br />exalts former attempts, and choice gains <br />life-growth if colour is seen unrestrained.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cutting-colours-free/
