Something More 11/03/2021

My temper flared
Felt rushed
 Can’t be late
Just gotta be
Something more
Than stress in my life. 

Within
The silent cries
For help
Felt a pull
Within my heart
A yearning
For understanding
And a desire for
A fuller
Happier life. 

Crossroads
Often appear
When change is needed
But the ego
Isn’t ready
To make those
Adjustments. 

Free will
And choice
Are divine options
Given to us at birth
As part of being
A co-creator in life.

 My level of awareness
At the moment
Wasn’t opened enough
To understand
The entire message
So
I did my best
With what I understood. 

Optimism and hope
Empowered my heart
Knowing
Something more
Will be there for me
Once I awakened​
My soulful self.
