Walking Enlightenment Road
I look back now with a wiser
woman's eyes
and see so clearly where I've been...
coincidences flow together
defining paths crossed
and rutted roads that led
to somewhere… I was meant to be…
for reasons that may unfold
… if I don’t misread
the elements
active in my life…
if I have strength
to follow the signs…
if I don’t get lost in a vicious
cycle
of cause & effect…. reaction
& retaliation…
I understand now
things seen with silent eyes
unknown signals
that lured me through life
step by symbolic step…
… even the stumbles were meant to
be
broken hearts…. skinned knee…
moments where prophesies
merged with the now… somehow…
third eye
intuitions
expanding with insight
lessons learned in life -
… karma can be a harsh Mistress
if she believes a lesson is to be
learned…
evolution of my destiny
preordained… perhaps… to bring me
here… now
to this place & space &
moment of time
at this stage of my life
strengthened by the experiences
gained up till now…
all coinciding with a nexus
of interconnecting
life-vibrations – likeminded souls
who resonate in rhythm as one …
I look back with a wiser woman's
eyes
and see so clearly where I've been
… I see the pattern of my life
the template of a matrix
the ‘blueprint’ as it were…
showing flowing lines… vortexes
where vibrations resonate strong
… dark knots of hemorrhaging bruises
melting into subsiding pools of
stagnant energy…
I acknowledge errors in past
judgement
I forgive myself for choices
wrongly chosen…
I accept my flaws & honour my
strengths…
… for I look back with a wiser
woman's eyes
and see so clearly where I've been….
…. and I now know
that where I am
is where I am meant to be;

Aaah hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing isn't it? Very nicely portrayed here.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this! Especially "I look back with a wiser woman's eyes" and the last lines of the final stanza.I like the flow of your poem.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and thoughtful reflections on your journey ~ I think we all have to stumble, fall and learn our lessons and be grateful for where we are, wiser and stronger woman ~ Cheers ~
ReplyDeleteThis has the ring of authenticity, a clarity that is startling and refreshing. Its optimism is specially charming, a wide-eyed acceptance and self-forgiveness that widens self-consciousness and sets a mould for how we come to terms with ourselves and move forward, always open to who we can be.
ReplyDeletethis shows that you don't regret your choices, a good way to live, a wise way to live

in hindsight we see the patterns that life wove so clearly and it's so difficult to make sense of them when we face the presence and things go not as we expect them to go... a very reflective write sharon
