A New Day

Renewed

Thinking back on the day i passed

after the drought that ran me through

Oh how the bark did chip,

and these walls washed white,

I was almost see through.

Gleming with joy,

light shining through

every crack in my smile.

It had been so long

In this long, long run

that id felt so cheerful,

In bloom.

Those gutters behind me

That path before me

It's gonna lead me right through.

Peeling my skin

like the snake i had been.

Leaving that boy in the past.

Now im a man

and with my right hand

i will swear an oath on this path.

Never will I stray

always will I stay

on this golden gleeming path

it will light the way

into a new day

and ill soak in the radiant rays.

Author's Note

I felt an overwhelming rush of joy and happiness.

gleming or gleaming.

Did you mean to leave out the apostrophe in the contractions?

My favorite part starts with..."Now I am a man." I thought the ending was really strong. Nice job.
