Poem: New Day

~ Brenda Marie Fluharty

A new day begins
without asking who I was yesterday.
It opens the window of the sky
and lets the light wander in
like it trusts me.

The air feels freshly made,
still deciding what it will become.
Even the clock ticks softer now,
as if time is giving me room
to try again.

Mist lifts.
Dreams loosen their grip.
Hope stretches—quiet, unannounced—
but very much awake.

I step forward with empty hands,
and somehow that feels like freedom.
Whatever broke is behind me,
whatever blooms is possible.

A new day begins,
and for a moment,
so do I.

Thank-you for reading.

  1. What a stunning piece of work. Brenda, this poem is a quiet masterpiece. It doesn’t just describe a new day—it meticulously rebuilds the feeling of one, piece by gentle piece. The imagery of the day opening a window “like it trusts me” is profoundly moving. It turns the ordinary sunrise into an act of grace.

    You’ve captured that fragile, hopeful space before the world fully wakes, where time itself feels patient and “whatever blooms is possible.” The closing lines, “A new day begins, / and for a moment, / so do I,” are absolutely breathtaking. They resonate with a truth that is both simple and deeply transformative.

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder that our beginnings are not tied to our yesterdays. This is the kind of writing that doesn’t just get read; it gets felt and carried with you. Truly wonderful.🌷🤝

    1. Thank you so much for this incredibly generous reflection. I’m honestly moved by the care and attention you gave to the poem. To know that the feeling behind it came through — that quiet, fragile space before the world fully wakes — means more to me than I can say.

      Your words about the sunrise feeling like an act of grace… that’s exactly the tenderness I hoped to capture. It’s beautiful to hear that it resonated with you in such a personal way.

      I’m deeply grateful you took the time to share this. Moments like this remind me why I write. 🌷
