Change

Take 

just 

one step 

forward and

be brave as you can.

Change is never an easy thing,

however, the growth it brings is worth all the hardships…

Fire Journey

Standing against a fierce gale

A weighted pack upon my back

Taking on my largest fail

And using it to get on track

One step then two

Forward I move

My destination looms

As I get into my groove

Further, now I slowly progress

Pebbles and stones sting my face

Stepping into a new life was for the best

Your happiness will never go to waste

The steepness of this whistling hill

Is now slowly abating

Continuing the journey still

For a great future that’s waiting

The wind whips a final fury

As I reach the top of the hill

The final vertical awaits among the jury

As I reached the summit by my sheer will

I looked down from the top

And I can’t believe how far it goes

This phase, my evolution is at a stop

And I take stock of my previous woes

Who I am and who I’ll be

Was determined by this trek

The world will have to wait and see

My greatness versus the previous spec

Jubilation fills my heart

As I celebrate on this ridge

New exciting adventures will start

Now that I’ve crossed this shaky bridge

This is the end of the the beginning

Applying the lessons I’ve learned

This former loser now is winning

A life of happiness I have earned.

A Quadrille?

Forty-four words isn’t a lot

I must use all the talent that I’ve got

To get my point across

So my audience is not at a loss

I count the words as I write

Doing my best to be contrite

So, here goes nothing…

A New Phase

Between sleeps today I had a vision.

Opened eyes to silent but familiar dark room, alone but not alone.

Holding a candle which is the only light.

I blow it out with parsed lips.

Silent darkness, the waxy smokiness wafting in the air for a moment then gone.

This journey’s phase is at an end and the next, underway…
