We all have stories that we carry with us that limit us in some way. Some are really big and others are small. Either way, they feel true. One story that I've always believed is that writing poetry is hard and beyond me. I was recently challenged to write a poem for an online zine collection of self-love poems curated by
Amy Williams. I could have easily said no but I decided to drop the old story and write a new one. So, I sat down and wrote a poem about my insights that day while walking a labyrinth. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to bringing you more. You can find the entire collection of self-love poems here:
The Search for Love.
Labyrinth of Life
I follow the path
Soft ground beneath my feet
With many turns before me
I’m exactly where I need to be
Cool air dancing across my face
Bird song cheering me along
The path folds and spins me around
Like life many times before
I arrive not alone
Lessons joined me along the way
The destination is only a pause
For the path continues before me
Grateful for this moment
I’m exactly where I need to be
