I am returning to Book 2 in my series “Transitioning” because I am in a new phase of transitioning again. “There Comes a Time” fairly accurately portrays my current place.

There comes a time
In all our lives
When we make the choice
Which defines us

Age is irrelevant
For there is only the present
As past and futures merge
While life begins anew

Growth never ceases
For each day is a journey
On an uneven path
Towards our calling

It’s never easy
As fear and anxiety
For comfort of the known
Become pervasive and habitual

So we may pause at times
Often retreat
Reassess, revisit, rearrange
As we ponder our next step

And so today
I have made a choice
After a long pause
To take that next step
