How It Happened

This is how things started
the day death almost found me
somewhere in my soul
there was still more work to do
I was filled with resolve, finally
allowing truth to be truth
within my own mind
germ to the seed that broke its shell

Each step was taken first small and hesitant
with confidence, the strides found me and
choices made themselves; miracles
created new opportunities, friends
encouraged me to grab it, the brass ring
we laughed realizing how
I could have done this all along
the veil over my eyes I had placed there myself

No journey ends without new ones beginning
fear sometimes comes with good ideas, learning
differences between the outworn and the renewed
casting hope out to the universe
whatever it is that can be shared, love
like rain to break the shells of other seeds
carried on the wing; let us all find our songs
let us shed the chains we shackled to ourselves

Love your poem today. I also write poetry, will try to get some online in my blog. It is a pleasant change, from rantings/ravings. Love the cheese ad. I am lactos intolerant and use the rice cheese alot.

Hi,

Nice blog.

Here's a blog that serves for your spiritual needs.
