A way of Becoming


A long and arduous journey

From the bottomless pit of hell

From the ravages of war

Countless hurdles that seem

Insurmountable

Impossible

From deaths in the desert

To frigid and frozen stops

It is pointless if you choose

But in forging ahead

Despite the elements

Despite the situation

That is when you see

The turning point to

Becoming

And this is only

One way of becoming…

April 7th – A Way of Becoming


Why is it that some people struggle so?

Undecided which way they should go.

It’s hard to know what you don’t know

But lessons learned and so we grow.


Are we born with direction deep inside?

And all our life the rules we do abide.

Hidden within amongst humble pride

Creativity harnessed – no ebb and tide.


Is there a way of becoming you?

Discover what it is you are meant to do.

Do what’s required to pay your dues

And you will uncover what’s true to you.


But why is it necessary to struggle so?

Just pick a path and away we go.

You need the lessons offered, so

You finally learn…

A Way Of Becoming

(Day 7)


Words have a way

Of becoming

A bridge between

Ignorance and

Enlightenment

But only if

The path across

Is paved by truth
