So now - well over a year later, when the dust is settling and I find myself on the flip side of the change, I have come back to complete the musing... full now of the knowledge that lies beyond the fear and the change.
***************************
Here I stand on the eve of change
I see the day behind me
Full of unfulfilled hopes and dreams come true
The joy of love
The sorrow of loss
The frusteration and contentment
The chaos and the peace
I lay these to rest in my treasure chest of memoriesAnd I drift off to dream of tomorrows possibilities
Yet as the dawn of the new day breaks on the horizon
the comfort of the past wraps warm around me as a blanket
enticing me to bury myself deep under its cover
and steal a few more precious moments of its familiarity
The uncertainty of the new day feels cold
threatening
overwhelming in the air that surrounds me
Yet my unease keep me only but a moment on the brink of indecision
I breathe deeply to muster the courage
Shed the skin of fear
and I turn toward the future.
I find myself filled with such a sense of rightness
This
this is who I am
Here
Here is where I belong
The path ahead stretches beyond the horizon
Breaking out into many branches
Some paved, wide open and well lit
Others barely a discernable dirt path through a forest of trees
The thought of so many possibilities
So many different routes
Fills me not with a sense of dread, but of excitement
Eager anticipation for what lies ahead
As I prepare to take my first step I find my hand caught up in that of my lover
I turn to him
Fully expecting a battle
a plea to return
Only to find that he has come prepared to fare the journey at my side
Ahhhh... This is completeness
Knowing I could have gone it alone
Seeing now that I don't have to
The prospect of the future now seems all the sweeter
Endless promise lies before us
We take our first step...
together.
