A Poem Written By Maureen W

Flicking through the brown crisp ends of life's pages,

Travelling on a poorly lit road for ages.

My soles memorised the varied textured pathways.

Tarred, rocky, potholed, valley deep and mount raised.

My feet know’s all the corners and the edges.

As many a time they balanced on what felt like minute ledges.

Whilst my hands surveyed a landscape within its reach.

Deciphering secrets for my experience to teach.

As if with blind eyes I study my terrain,

Only to be fumbling around in vain.

This walk has not been easy, had my highs and lows,

As underneath many a rubble I've had to nose.

Though scared at times, I've had to boldly go.

With an enlightened steer and my self investment to grow.

Suddenly a faint light flickers with added zest.

Floods my darkened state with streams of brightness.

Eradicating those fear driven butt clenches,

The debilitating blindsight and limited senses.

Making me powerless and full of indecision.

But now deep entrenched stuff are being uttered,

And my life's path is being decluttered.

All laid bare, with the spotlight nearer,

And my true potential appears ever clearer.

That groomed my thoughts, corrupting my vision.

The taste of freedom is now on my lips.

I want to devour it whole, don't want to sip.

For it's been long awaited, I've been starved,

Eating from a plate where my rations were halved.

I am beginning to gorge on this hefty feast.

Of delights that this new journey has unleashed.

I believe in me, I know I belong Because.

Enlightened Creations Have Taught Me A New Song.
