A poem I wrote, after going through a divorce and meeting the love of my life again |
One Way For it is the beginning of any journey, the first small step Hesitant, or knowing, moving forth without fear Moving forward through the impending days, with direction and without That step has known battle, pain, destinations wrought with anguish The same step has known glory, laughter, places filled with love Carrying with it, the weight of a lifetimes worth of memories Pressing on, never sure, but never turning back, leaving the past behind Forward only, marching straight ahead to an unforeseen destiny Remembering only history, believing only in fate and future The weakness disguised as courage, only forward, never back Only one direction, gives few options, limited paths Battles that were never waged, averted, too hard too fight Seem insurmountable, but may not even exist at all The one direction has traveled too far, too far to see Battles or joy, the distance has caused further fear Never mindful of what may have been overlooked For it is the beginning of any journey, the first small step Revisiting the past, going back towards what was Direction overridden by instinct, fear over come by remembrance There are no battles that rage, ended by the moment Treasures unexplored abound, paths that were never taken erupt Coming around again, finding new glory, forgotten dreams reaquainted Moving in small circles the directions are confused, steps scattered and random The soul dancing lively, vibrant, with it’s choice The chance to go back, and bring only what is cherished forward |
