Journey of the Heart

JOURNEY OF THE HEART

We spin around and around

And with comforts surround

What’s the aim

the endgame

I have reached my fill

It has lost its thrill

I realize that there is much more

I strive for that distant shore

A step has been taken

My life is shaken

What’s it to be

And what will I see

Oh, if I only knew

My destiny

And for now

What is it that comes

A feeling of peace

Tension released

What do we give up

When we step up

What is it that we leave

Certainly, we believe

That we need

The dross of life

Certainly, what I have found

Brings joys, abound

For t’is not the answer

That leads us on

T’is the act, we happen upon

So, as I shed

I carefully tread

I look forward, not back

I do not focus

On what I lack

I look upon the mystery

Of what’s to be

What’s in store for me

We’ll see

-Shiidon, March 2010

This year I had a profound fast. It seemed to galvanize my soul. I found myself with new energy at the end and almost did not want it to end. What did happen was a new focus came to me. I am embarking on so many different journeys at the same time. First of all, I am now a lead tutor and that entails much more in terms of responsibilities, I love it. I see a new direction for my oldest son, my middle son is almost over with his final hurdle between him and college. My daughter is speeding towards life at breakneck speed, speaking of which, she is also getting her drivers license soon (yikes). This poem came to me as I sat here today. It speaks for itself.
