[Exit Stage Left]
I must confess,
that sometimes all life’s stress,
has me so oppressed,
that I just want to seek refuge,
and rest in my nest,
because it’s hard to express my distress,
as I’m fighting cardiac arrest,
directly from my very own sacred bodily chest..
What a mess I’ve made of my quest!
Feels like I’m grasping for a breath of refresh,
as I’m struggling to navigate through crowds,
and exit stage left..
Then just when I think I’m tripping mid-step,
& failing at all of life’s curveballs,
& mazes & tests,
I’m confronted with a choice —
a choice to choose less,
or to honor my own request,
to stand tall and strong at my ultimate best..
And BOOM!
Just like that..
I’ve been thrown into the unknown abyss,
of an inevitable plot twist,
where I can no longer persist to dismiss,
that I’ve bumped up the list,
to be gifted none other,
than an ultimate gift..
Wait, is there something I missed?
So distraught I nearly forgot,
what I’ve always once sought,
which is to be lifted of my worst curse,
through the blessings of verse,
by the all seeing all knowing,
ultimate creator,
of our one and only universe..
Perhaps in my past life when I was given a cue,
that seemed too good to be true,
I subconsciously withdrew..
Though now I’m open and willing to make some breakthroughs,
by learning a thing or two,
from the rest of the world’s point of view..
