There are certain days when you just seem to know
that the day will go the way it's meant to go.
When you clearly hear your inner voice
and as the day unfolds it brings times to rejoice.
An underlying feeling that you cannot pin;
realisations that come from deep within.
Everything is right,
or so it seems,
as it feels like the day
is awash with sunbeams.
This can follow a time that's been a little dry
and everything appears to just float by.
Unable to quite grasp all that is out of reach;
a reminder that life isn't always a peach.
It can be called the pit,
also known as the stone,
containing the seeds
to the path we next roam.
Although in order
for this to germinate
there's a time
when you need to acclimate,
so you're ready and willing
to just go with the flow,
to trust all is right
and then come to know,
a synchronicity,
with the feelings you get,
a feeling of peace,
with the unknown, as yet.
A feeling of joy
when the news turns to good,
a feeling of relief
when you are understood.
Excitement rising,
set to explode,
that the end is nigh
from the diverted road.
A newness is coming,
a blank canvas to paint,
an empty space
with no doubts to taint.
A brilliance,
a clearness;
a depth that's so deep,
happiness within the tears that you weep.
The dance of merriment,
the triumphant punch to the air
as you say goodbye
to what was perceived as despair.
It wasn't though,
it was simply a time to reflect
and to treat yourself
to some love and respect,
so you're strong enough
and ready to face
what is ahead,
what is now in place.
Those feelings now settling,
you're back within peace
until such time when
they may just release
again,
as you think of what is ahead,
looking forward
and not filled with dread.
