Progress

I am walking along a road that is all new
searching for answers that never before came into view
this moment of enlightenment hit me like a ton of bricks
it took me up from the ground like a feather
longing to settle down

I have found the place I want to be
and yes I am almost there
its taken so long for me to see
who, what, when and where.

I have struggled with complications for which I could or couldn't prevent
at least now I know that the road is made of cement.
The pavement was a little bumpy
and had some holes along the way
but now I can finally say I am happy
as I look forward to brighter days.

I have stopped along this road before
but took the wrong turn I guess
and have finally found my way back and now I can progress.
I watched and waited for a sign to look just right
and now that I have found it I am chasing on forward with all my might.

And so I say as I write this congratulations to the inner me
for I have found the thing I have longed and searched for
a bit of serenity.
