A poem for when we feel it's time for a change.
***
Running on empty
Pursuing and striving
Been sold a tale for
A path for thriving.
❤️
Months, years, or decades later
Ladders we still are climbing
One day comes crashing down
Dreams forgotten, purpose dying.
❤️
An end is near, we can’t deny
Deep within a stirring
We know, we understand
A new life, possible, is brewing.
❤️
To release what has been
Tis never an easy task
Holding the familiar, the known
Only maintains our mask.
❤️
This one life is precious
Cannot afford to stay adrift
Take a step to reunion, wholeness
It all begins with a downward
Shift.
