An Unexpected Path


Love so unexpected, yet so divine,

has now entered into this world of mine;
it’s encouraging me to redefine
what I have in mind for this new life’s design.

It happened to me only once before: 
Passion opened up a forgotten door
that allowed my hardened mind to explore
possibilities I just couldn’t ignore.

So how do I find the courage to go
down another path that frightens me so
when there’s still so much that I’ve yet to know
about how this new twist will force me to grow?

In this amazing and challenging year,
I’ve been asked to push through all of my fear.
And although there’s much that is still unclear,
I have had brief flashes of insight appear.

And even if I can barely retain
those illusive thoughts that fly through my brain,
there’s a peacefulness that I can’t explain;
it assures me that I haven’t gone insane.

And so I will trust that my heart knows best
though my faith is put, again, to the test
as I venture forth on this mystic quest
in a manner that I could never have guessed!
