Pivotal

Striving Towards Motivation

By Jacquelyn RichardsonPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

It is a pivotal moment from which my star is descending

tonight I am watching the sky open up to great momentum

Where am I going to go from here?

Where do my dedicated aims lead me in the midst of my wandering?

I have longed to know for some time now what would make me bleed eternal?

How do I make it out of my past to stumble my way towards an open door of future promise?

It is like I am stepping over a crack that could pull me back into the abyss of my troubles,

but instead found myself on solid ground once my footing was right.

I stood up towards the light above me and found my cautions shewed away.

Nothing was going to come between me and the next part of my days.

I feel alight now as I speak to you

knowing that there is a dream laying under my pillow tonight

waiting for me to stumble into it and be caught up in a new life.

Never to again know struggle as I have before

Simply a kind smile and an open door.
