Purpose

A poem of new beginnings

By Emily RuizPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I yearned for something I could feel but did not know.

A rattle was heard from the depth of my bones. My body carried to a new horizon and time.

“Go,” it says.

My fate had the cosmos in my blood. The universe embedded in my skin. I had starlight that danced across each hair to create its own shooting stars.

Intuition paced like a tiger.

Whispering “You know it from the depth of your core. Now, live dear one.”

I didn’t know my direction so I put one foot forward into the unknown wilds of destiny. I looked back at the face of comfortability and smiled.
