And Now, I Live

Like a feather in the wind,

riding on the breeze,

I've lived aloft

up in the air

floating wherever fate may please.

And like the water in the curb,

trickling down the hill,

I've flowed through life

with fleeting days and nights

drifting alongside free will.

And like the train upon the tracks,

coasting down the rails,

I could only sit and ride

watching time fly by

never feeling the wind in my own sails.

But now the sun has risen,

now I look to the sky,

not flowing through life

now life flows through me

as I kiss the mundane goodbye.

My days, now steps, to unknown success,

be it spirit or love or fame.

With vigor I wake

each morning then take

a deep breath as I embark on my day.

I shall follow my will and pursue my dreams,

while exploring the path my heart leads.

And while I know not my fate,

my journey no abate,

as I know I can only succeed.
