Something in the wings

 

I feel I’ve always been waiting

for something in the wings,

in the delicate way they flap

as time speeds past.

I always thought

I was awaiting death, my final lap

but now it seems

I have steered onto a new path

and something else is staring back.

 

I used to feel small, insignificant

but now I realise we are all magnificent.

We hold an ocean of energy,

we are not merely boats along for the ride,

we are the waves that never hide.

We control the tide.

I always felt I was stranded at sea,

but now I know the sea is me

and I am free to be who I want to be.

 

I won’t lie. It’s scary

this renewed energy I feel inside,

I feel younger with every stride,

I feel my smile growing wide,

and the part of me that doubts

thinks this is gonna all collapse in time

but I know I’ll keep walking

through every downward spiral,

every torturous mile,

because I will always know

that I accepted my trials,

learnt to love the way the gravel feels

when it is dug into my heals,

and as I walk ill sing

because at the end of the road

is love for everyone and everything.
