Choice is mine to make starting now.
Drama, diffused and revealed somehow.
Either I am all in, or either I ain’t.
Choosing to go or choosing to stay.
Its all taking place, here on the inside.
Unmasking the parts, trying to hide.
Where I’ve been, what I’ve felt and “how” I have seen.
My part in it all, to adult, from a teen.
Lays claim to what I find, right now and here.
And my role in this moment is now standing clear.
To see the growing pains as my isolated task?
Or to comprehend the full truth at last.
A gateway that has now lead to the mind.
A sudden knowing that impacts what I find.
Time reveals more than any shovel can.
The only way to grow a boy to a man.
Isolation or space is merely a decided choice.
So, participation on purpose to find one’s own voice.
Feeling the value that these minutes hold.
Turning, past moments of brass, into future gold.
Unveiling letdowns as unperceived needs.
Coloring every thought, word and deed.
That has formed expectations, of one that connects deep.
And adds to all the thoughts that I keep.
Then, creation deliberate verses, what has been learned.
And, slowing down to see it, causes pages to be turned.
Reminding myself that growth is the goal.
Choosing Darkened Silence, and handing over my role.
Integrating my Spirit Coach into every move I make.
Building within, a bridge, to steps I take.
Time is my partner, that forms the cornerstone.
And never again am I on my own.
Relearning to welcome the ebb and the flow.
Seeing, “how” I think about it equals what I know.
Paying close attention to the direction I choose.
Deciding my focus and which lens I use.
Conditioned determination developed to find.
The clearest way to cultivate the mind.
Building a foundation of processing what’s true.
Refraining from imposing a self limiting view.
Choosing to choose, to keep finding a way.
Thought by thought.
Step by step.
Bit by bit.
Everyday.
