Poem – The Path Always Leads

I look backward and I see a blazing light.

I look forward and see amazing upward flight.

I look to this moment, and I see a soul who cares.

I look into my eyes and see determination in her stares.

I know I trust this person I have become.

I know that together she and I can finally run.

Run to the doors that hold the promise and to that I reach.

I am learning to sit back and listen more as I teach.

Because a soul only hears what they long to see.

They reach beyond the shadows to reclaim what might be.

And while I cannot give them all of what they seek.

I have enough faith to allow them to see a mirror in me … that is less bleak.

No one knows all the paths that lead a soul home.

That is why we wander sometimes together .. but often alone.
