timmy's poetry - 51. Second Chance

 

 

They say you cannot see the forest for the trees

And I could not see life, because of my misery

After all the years I’ve lived, I finally feel alive

I don’t want to question the wherefore or why

Life seen from a different angle doesn’t seem so bad

Somewhere along the highway I’d lost what made it real

Is this a second chance being offered to me?

i'm not sure if looking at things from a different angle, is a second chance.  more like a first chance at living happier. whether a 1st chance or second chance--take it. you do deserve it. another wonderful offering, tim.

thanks very much moggy ..

Several images, some very mathematical, come to mind as I re-read this poem. It is the chance and the choice to look at things from a different angle or different dimension that get to me. What matters most is that you can see outside and beyond the boundaries of misery to something other, something better. Hugs. 

thank you Parker .. i just feel more at peace.. dont know what's changed and i'm not going to go and look..

If you think it might be, then I say, make it so, and run with it! Good and positive vibes emanate from that line. 

 

As always, nicely done, tim. :) 

thanks Reader. i've been feeling good ..

With time comes a changing view of life, perspective as you call it. Perhaps you are seeing what we have seen all along. The value and special qualities that make you our tim and are ready to live in the life you now have rather than the shadows of the past. So yes, this is your second chance to be yourself. Namasté little brother.
