On the Right Track
Oftentimes I do feel
I am on the right track.
I attend to my valid sorrows,
welcome breathy joys,
value my unique self.
I am full of purpose,
radiance, and vitality.
But then sometimes
I feel adrift, lonely,
and weary of grief.
At times tear surface and
I can't identify their origin.
They come quickly,
catch me by surprise,
clearly need to flow.
They come and they go,
but leave me with a gentle unease.
I believe that some
of the defunct lessons
I absorbed are still
unsnarling and
I don’t need to understand

Just the writing of that
produces peace.
I can feel my body relax,
my mind settle,
my spirit soothe.
I think I will make the choice

I can feel my body relax,
my mind settle,
my spirit soothe.
I think I will make the choice
to gratefully and lovingly
continue on my way,
trust that I truly am
on the right track.
