Have been standing still
For too long
And couldn’t see tomorrow
Until Now

My path is clearer
My spirit restored
My angers understood
My passion overflowing

A calmness surrounds me
In a world of turmoil
For the sky is not falling
Despite its rumblings

Storm clouds
Appearing suddenly
To soak the beach
And cleanse the soul

And in its aftermath
Learning that its fury
Is replaced by the calm
That reflects our own

There is a journey
Just begun
Not understood
And I don’t care

******************************

For there is only today
As yesterday and tomorrow merge
Into the journey I am on
Towards me

Nothing compares
To the touch of someone new
And sleeping peacefully together
After a night of love-making

Nothing compares
To those easy moments
Laughing and sharing
As our lives open to each other

Nothing compares
To the excitement and fear
That is beautifully before us
At the start of each new journey

Keeping things simple
Through all the complexity
And avoiding the traps…
Of inconsequential minutia

Growing and learning
Ignoring old patterns
Gaining wisdom
And earning trust

Negativity must be discarded
At every turn
While the sounds of calm
Envelops my being
