When Spirit Leads: An excerpt from Exploring Life One Poem at a Time

A time before of unhappiness and strife

yearning for a joyous and peaceful life

A heart troubled and in need of healing

it was difficult to express the turmoil I was feeling

But now with firm ground under my feet

my heart skips to a new beat

In a place I now call my spiritual home

I live there myself, but I’m never alone

My spirit embarked on an unfamiliar trail

I knew however I’d prevail

It was scary, weird, and at times strangely fun

but now, that phase is done

Now full of grace and happiness

with no more distress or loneliness

I’m that happy one

whose awakening has just begun.
