perhaps it is a question of faith
perhaps one of trust
it is surely lodged deep in the heart of honesty
it is integrity, humility, and virtue
how do we overcome our own shortcomings?
how do we right our wrongs?
how do we let our future
become more important than our past?
where do you begin
when you wish for change?
what does that look like?
how do the words sound?
is it a language you even know
or are you a stranger trying to find your way?
do your senses become heightened
when your balance leaves you shaken?
the first step, for me
has always been the truth
recognition of a wrong
or asking for a want or need
it seems simple, I know
but do we always know
when we have wronged another?
do we ever know
what we truly want or need?
within the endless questions
there must be times of reflection
the internal turn where you face yourself
where you see yourself through the eyes of another
do you have such a mirror
the luxury of a devil’s advocate?
someone who will challenge you
in ways you cannot challenge yourself?
do you view your reflection
through open eyes?
or do you let your gaze be clouded
by the ego that protects you?
where do you feel safe in your own skin
and why isn’t that feeling everywhere in your world?
what would you change if you could
pieces, spaces, the walls that hold you?
what would the landscape of your own design look like?
what would you add or take away
to make the terrain someplace that challenged you
but where you also felt safe?
I wonder about the cost of freedom
is it really all it’s cracked up to be?
or is it just another form of loneliness
disguised as something else?
we consider the origins of that paths that led us here
two roads, so long, so seemingly endless
what did we learn on that journey
that will change the way our destination looks?
what have we carried down this road
that has made us stronger for the effort?
what will we do differently today
that will shape the outline of our future?
what will we let go of in order to hold on
to all that tomorrow brings?
