A New Life Is Born
A barrage of thoughts
Bombards my brain
Peace & harmony
Erodes before my eyes
The niggling voice within
Raises its ugly head
Who are you to dream so big?
What makes you so special?
Why should I have luck?
Life wasn’t meant to be easy!
For many a week I have soldiered on
Struggling with a tirade of emotions & thoughts
Wondering why it has to be such a battle!
So much effort for so little return
Why do I make it so?
More ducking & diving as I search my soul
To understand my true life’s purpose
To focus the gifts I have
To realise the potential within
Like a caged animal
It paces
It’s restless
It’s relentless
It pounds the bounds of my heart
Free me please free me
Such urgency like never before
A sense of life or death
Be free … wild abandonment
As humanly possible
There is no tomorrow
If you continue as before!
The way is clear
You know what you must do
To break the bonds
That tie you down
A sense of longing & trepidation co-exits
Tightness & lightness
Knowing what’s ahead
Determination is what fuels me now
It gives me the courage
To breakthrough when its time
The rewards are boundless
Pure joy awaits me
Teasing me forward
Propelling me
To a place unknown
My baptism of fire
My phoenix rising
My crucible
It all awaits
And with it …
New life is born!
