A Journey Of 1000 Miles
Take That Step
When did you learn you had power
when did you realize your wings
When did you bloom into flower
when did you find you could sing
*
When did the magic consume you
when did you walk from the fight
When did you learn what you could do
when did your heart soar in flight
*
When did life show you, it's beauty
when did you see it's design
When did you sign up for duty
when did you hit pause and rewind
*
When did you see your potential
When did you play your own drum
When did you show you're essential
When did you shed other's thumbs
*
We all get there, sooner or later
We all finally decide - it's enough
Life slips right on by, like a vapor
to get tangled in such messy stuff
*
One thing change gives is the freedom
To open our wings and take flight
So, take the free pass when you need-em'
shining like a star in the night

Talented Black creators spotlight: Catherine Nyomenda (Chap 3).
Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.

The wonder of the moment when realize that a child has grown up, that they've taken flight into their own path through this world, no longer so firmly tethered to our own, that they will now face their own risks & peril, & create something new. Ahh, the breathtaking wonder, as though the moment we realize it we think we may never breathe again, even as we know that they are already breathing it fully. Do you ever get tired of hearing us say how beautifully you write & convey your meaning?
Beautiful and inspirational. Well done, Kelli!
