Was it then? Missed somehow?
How far have I come? Where will I go?
When do I start? How will I know?
The path only leads where the eye sees
Straight and narrow, adventure flees.
Broad and meandering, darting back and forth
Undecipherable west, east, south, north.
Each step marks territories unknown
A journey unique, discoveries strown.
Movement toward and movement away
Progress so small, purpose astray.
Temptation to turn right around
Go back and seek familiar ground.
Be safe and secure, know what to expect
Peaceful, content, but also abject.
Failure looms as darkness closes
Frozen time distortion exposes.
Blurry lines, directions cease
Panic, sadness, distress increase.
Silence loud now, speaking clear
Heart song beating strong, sincere
Only truth will find the way
Light the path, brighten the day.
The course is winding, daunting, tough
Simple courage not enough.
Something, someone bigger than me
Guiding my footfalls gracefully.
Come full circle, start again
Find the call, the passion within.
Take the road less traveled by
Realize here is where I fly!
Here is now. Here was then.
Always moving, changing again.
Here is where I’m meant to be
Prepared to set my spirit free!
