Perfectly said in true poet fashion. Excellent write. A whole new ball game. Good job

Casting off the chains that bind us and starting over, a wonderful idea. Freedom bound, even better. Well done.

You know I can relate to this write very well.
There was a time where the chains of misery
held me tight..liked this read :)

Thanks for all your comments. Was sitting in a tranquil park by a pond while watching a fountain, and then felt a profound change in my life; a new hopeful beginning!

Thats a wonderful take on life... leaving behind the past and moving towards new horizon of hope... radiates just positive feeling ...

Images that were my past
Oppressively, my mind, they'd rake
To the waves, like stones, I cast
And watch them sink below this lake.

^^ just loved the imagery here... of the past sinking below... loved it :)

wonderful write...

'Fountain streams up to the sky
Drowns my past as waters swirl
Memories go drifting by.'
- - Awesome metaphor here, although some may see it as simple it is excellent. I really loved this

Awesome write overall. A simple poem about gaining freedom and a new life. A new beginning. Putting the past behind you and moving forward. Well done!

Thank you for all your comments!
