Where am I?
Swift winds of change are swirling all around me
Sorting through boxes filled with all of my yesterdays
Purging the past to make room for my tomorrows
Memories stored on paper to remind me of the love I was given
Captured smiles in shared moments
Where am I?
Unfamiliar territory littered by trails of those before me
Moving through life as turbulent waves swell and roll forward
Losing sight of the horizon til the calm returns
I reset my sails to put me back on course
Battered but still strong I moor to a beam of light ahead
Filling more empty boxes to see where I’ve been
Where am I?
Rainbows draw my attention now
I know they will come so I sit and wait
Letting the cold rains wash my tears away
Changing chills warm as the clouds part for clear skies
Life is still waiting to be embraced
Where am I today?
I’m right where I belong
Grateful for this moment of breath I take
Ahead of my yesterday that hurt
Ready for the tomorrows to come
Wiser for the lessons taught
I am in the here and now
Taking the good and bad
Appreciating the life given to live
Accepting the love above the hate
“She’s blowing a gale today, batten down the hatches and lean into the wind. This storm will pass and tomorrow we can go fishing.” Quote by Robert M. Fisler
What a beautifully written poem. It can take someone to many places, actually, and that is one thing I believe creating something is all about…to take the reader on a journey uniquely their own. Take good care.
