New Life Whispering

I try to shut it out
It's what I always do
But that was then
And I finally feel new
My heavy steps
My loud
Silent self
Can no longer be
Put on a shelf
A new life is
Creeping in
Ever so cleverly
And I'm wondering
If it's really true
Limited time to think
I just do

Cynical thoughts
Creep in
But a new life is
Whispering in
Craning my neck
Her sweet song
I'm listening
