Bright New Beginnings

In out-of-the-way places of the heart 
where my thoughts never think to wander
This new beginning has quietly been forming
waiting until I am ready to emerge.


For a long time it has watched my desire
feeling the emptiness forming inside me
noticing how I willed myself on
Still unable to leave what I've outgrown.
​
It watched me play with the seduction of safety
and the grave promises that sameness whispered
heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent
wondered, would I always live like this?

Then the delight when my courage kindled
and out I stepped onto new ground
My eyes young again with energy and dream
a path of plenitude opening before me.
​
Though my destination is not yet clear
I can trust the promise of this opening
Unfurl myself into the grace of beginning
that is One with my life's desire.

I Awaken my spirit to adventure, 
hold nothing back
Learning to find ease in risk
soon I will be home in a new rhythm
​For my soul senses the world that awaits me.
