Just as the world tilts forward the road I have walked comes into focus
The past that grips me in this place
camouflaging and burdening me
filling my way with anger and hurt
deception and torment.
Just as the world tilts forward the burdens that imprison me
fall at my my feet.
They crash, they break, they spill and transform.
Anger and betrayal, loss and the jealousy
revealed love and understanding, empathy and compassion.
The river of tears that frustrates me, and wants to drown me-
Wash away the chains that entrap me,
cleaning my soul of the doubts that bind me.
The darkness the isolation that terrified me and swallowed me whole-
glow bright I see the courage and faith to move on.
The roadblocks and weapons used to halt me -
embraced me as armour and protect me from harm.
The closed doors, the rejections that filled me with doubt
imbue me with wisdom and inspiration to find what i need.
The betrayals and abandonments that torment me
mend my shattered dreams, sweep away my doubt.
Just as the world tilts forward the door slowly creaks whispering
"Now is your time; you have what you need."
Just as the world tilts forward. my burdens so arresting and cruel
melt into, wisdom, light and my path.
When the world tilts forward my vision, my heart, my faith, courage
return. I am here, I have all I need.
