lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

Optimistic Faith

A new beginning has risen
A chance to spread my wings
Taking flight into the world
Exploring what it has to offer.
Let’s do this.

Journals of life’s lessons,
Elder’s whispers of wisdom
And the Word
Guide me along my way
I can do this.

Time passes in shifts
Sometimes slowly
Other times faster than
I can keep up with
Did I miss something?

So much has happened yet
It seems so little has come about
I reflect back on past decisions for
Reassurance and accountability
Seems like I missed a few things.

As I approach the forked road
Setting free will into overdrive
Nonchalantly creating my own path
Doing as I saw fit by way of “my laws”
Yeah, I got this.

Time began taking its toll
Complacency became my norm
Days and nights blurred together
Like faded colors on canvas
I thought I had this.

Desperation and worry became
My day’s beginning and ending
Doors were opening to brick walls
Everywhere I turned then faded away
And in the midst of my reality, I knelt.

It was all I knew of left to do
I prayed for what seemed like
Hours on end as the weight
Of my negativity lightened
I think I can get it right this time.

Looking back at my past
I realized the path I chose
Could’ve come with the ultimate price
Had I not seen the error of my ways
I should’ve listened the first time.

The moral of this story is:

Life isn’t life without others
That’s why we keep journals
Heed the wisdom of our elders
And have the Word as our guide
I got it now, I’ll get it right this time.

Welcome back Home to Self, my Sister. You got this! Always had it! Doubt always tries to "mess" with it! Peace and Love, mlowe5

Thank you Mlowe5. This isn't directly about me although may parts of it I can definitely relate to. I was washing dishes and listening to Pandora at the time and the song I was listening to was "You're The Biggest Part of Me" by Ambrosia and as I was singing along, I heard the message within the lyrics and that's where the idea came from which has helped lift my writer's block. Thank you for reading and your continued support. Peace and blessings!
