Where Will We Go?

What house do we dwell in ?
We search within and we challenge
ourselves to see the beauty in
the moment waiting to be seized.
To bathe in our sweet freedom,
to feel the air upon us,
calling us to rise and acknowledge ,
the turmoil, the affliction , the disappointment.
My dreams are saturated with pain, 
for those that lost their voice.
Where do we lay our heads,
heavy from the burden we carry.
where do we find our solace?
Is it believing that we have
the strength to sway for change?
Is it hoping that we can,
recapture dreams and create new ones.
Where do we go from here?
This wonderful adventure we call life.
I will go within for answers.
I will continue and ask questions
because I am going to grow ,
until I no longer reside here,
until I reach my final destination.

    Most days I find myself waking up and asking "Where do I go from here?

    It's hard to trust myself enough to just start 'doing' instead of questioning.

    Beautiful.

    To go within and find what's true there, that's the destination that counts.

    We must strive to capture dreams and create new ones. That is how we reinvent ourselves with purpose.

    It's so easy to look outside of ourselves for answers, but we are equipped with them in our hearts. Best of love and luck to you and me in finding those answers. xo
