When
life gives you another kick in the head (read job rejection) write a poem!
A Path So Traveled
The
walkway up to my front door
is
paved with disappointments
Each
stone is set in a cement mixture
of
fear, anger, and dashed hopes
Somedays
all I see is the path
leading
to and away from my home
The
path doesn’t change
but
which direction I head does
When
I walk away from the place I love best
it
is dark and I cannot see
where
I’m headed at all
I
want to stay right where I am
And
never stray beyond my yard
When
I know it leads inside
Safe
warm walls that protect
And
allow me time to grieve, grow, or groan,
Till
the walls close in
And
I must open up the door
Then
I see a bright path leading out
Into
a garden, a new mountain to climb,
Somewhere
beyond my little path
That
is stuck in the ground
Immovable
and there to keep me
Out
of the mud and muck
Something
to get me
From
one place to another
Then
I can step down
Stomp
down, solid,
And
dance away from home
With
a new song
Joy
washing all the
Desperate,
doubtful, dubious, debris away
Making
the path safe with no obstacles
To
run back and forth on
Without
slipping or new injury
