Hey readers! I reflected a bit about possibilities and how unexpectedly they can come. When we place our energy elsewhere, there's the chance we aren't even paying as much attention to what is actually changing around us. This is not to say don't pay attention at all, but rather trust that the order of things will make sense in due time. With this in mind, I wrote this week's poem to inspire anticipation for the possibilities that await you. Stay focused and all will be revealed as it should be. Peace, everyone!
Waiting is hard, yet
Anticipation is harder
The rings of nervousness
Swirl around in my stomach
The sun seems much brighter
The clouds appear much bigger
It's all because of this feeling
That things are changing for the best
And that makes me nervous
'Is this a trick of some sort?'
The weight of this question toils away
Until I took a breath and released the tension
I do this to myself constantly,
Not accepting good things for what they are
Sometimes, that has proved effective
But right now, it isn't the time
For why should I not expect things to happen because they occur
When I least thought they would?
It's the way of the world
Possibilities are helping this feeling
Dwindle as I place my favor
Into seeking what this will bring me
I look up at the sky
Remembering how I felt
When I truly believed I would never
See the opportunities I sought after for so long
A tear forms in each eye because
I'm grateful for the unexpected chance
To make my aspirations come true
Dreaming and believing have lead
To this moment where I do trust
Where I can walk through that door
Into the endless gratitude of chances
I'm not talking about luck
But a real time to shine
I smiled and wiped the tears away
Today was another day
And the night would bring something new too
I waited again with anticipation
For what the stars would bring
That's the way of the world, it's true
But thanks to believing in unexpected possibilities,
I was ready to see it through
