Restarting

-*-
The river moved my wafting bones
after releasing my grip on Life.
No cries or sorrows hitting my loved ones
but rather smiles from deeply inside.
-*-
They understand that change is a fact;
molding your path as it see better fits.
Waiting may work while you think how to act,
but once you feel ready, a goodbye can't sits.
-*-*-
The river took me until I reached its mouth;
channels behind, tributaries and source.
The estuary is a gift, with lands by a scouth
waiting for plans to go wander its course.
-*-*-
It is now in my side to dismiss all my doubts;
It is now in my time to show up and embrace.
The window is open, and I can see the layouts
awaiting the steps, while I'm choosing my pace.
-*-*-*-
I know I did good, choosing change over stale;
although I still think a lot on what's coming next.
No rush, even though sustenance is now pale
but there is plenty of time ahead of me and my flex.
-*-*-*-
Now, I just need to enjoy what I did with my boxes
They all have a new place, a new roof and fresh clouds.
No more stare through my window. I'll follow those voices
that have been calling my name, since the first time we bound.
