My Journey Continues

It’s a chime for dreams reborn,

A quiet tick, a brand new, hopeful morn.

Not a new life, shed of skin and past,

But a turning tide, a future meant to last.

Perhaps no easier road, no golden pave,

No guaranteed sunshine to brightly wave.

Perhaps the same old hills, the selfsame strife,

But lived with purpose, breathing deeper life.

A more fulfilling path, a soul ablaze,

Each act a brushstroke in life’s vibrant haze.

An accomplished journey, step by weary step,

Where sweat and struggle no longer must be kept

Hidden in the shadows, hidden in the fear,

But celebrated victories, held close and dear.

It starts right now, this moment etched in time,

A conscious choice, a climb, a vibrant rhyme.

And oh, the joy that floods, a shining grace,

To stand right here, in this well-earned space.

So happy, blessed, to see the finish line,

Knowing I started, and made this journey mine
