Twists in the Road

On the journey of our lives,

We often balk,

At a twist in the road,

Though why we know not.

~

Who says a twist is to be feared,

Or something from which to run?

~

Ingrained in us from the beginning,

Change seems the enemy,

An evil out to do us some harm,

But why does this seem?

~

Is change so bad,

Or could it perhaps be a chance?

~

A chance for change,

For choices,

A chance for courage,

And new courses.

~

Perhaps we may learn one day,

To love and trust our twists in the road.

~

My twists have led me all about,

Lost seems often my way.

But trust and faith keep me inspired,

To look for all the beauty in today.

~

Around each bend and twist,

Treasures surely await.

~

I've found in my journey,

That twists will come,

Though not in evil,

If we chose to succumb.

~

Letting go of control,

Finding peace in our soul.

~

My journey just begun

Yet begin again I shall,

With the resolve to yield not,

To my old forgotten qualm.

~

This journey is just too beautiful,

And time can seem too short.
