The Universe is Behind My Door

With her there, Life is easier to handle

A lot of my life has been tough

And I struggled on a daily basis,

So much negativity in my head

Because life was not an oasis.

***

So tough that I used to believe

Destined for hell meant reincarnation,

Oh no, I was adamant, not for me

I was not heading for damnation.

***

The deeper I began to dig

I found information that made sense,

I’d actually chosen my lessons

Before my life was to commence.

***

Why I chose to learn them all

In one tough lifetime, I’ll never know,

But at this realisation and knowledge

I knew the negativity had to go.

***

I began working with the Universe

Or Mother Nature as I know her,

Everything happens at the right time

But my thinking was enough to deter.

***

I began asking for help and believing

Surrendering to my higher power,

Life, while still tough at times

My new thinking enough to empower.

***

Now I know there’s someone on my side

I’m finally at peace like never before,

When trouble is on the horizon

I allow The Universe to answer my door.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
