Fly Now

Born with a spiritual lens

Placed in my heart.

A sparkling rarity,

A star in the night,

A blemish to hide?

Tranquility prevails

Until the dark demands light.

A fist grabs the bird

And releases it to the sky.

Fly now, let your feathers spread

Like dazzling flames

Engulfing the forest of peace.

It rises up:

Love.

Fear.

Truth.

Grace.

Rest in the midst of purposeful change.

About the poem:

I wrote this poem back in August 2023. After publishing the website and promoting life coaching for people with mental health issues I felt like I was embracing and using my gift for positive reasons. It was also a time of change because of finishing the Go 3D self-employment program in September and I was facing a big uncertainty of what would happen after the program. I felt like I needed to be brave and take a leap of faith.
