Fired in a New Direction

I am fired
into new directions
with a Little Winged Angel and a Fallen King.

Take one foot forward with a soft step and
look to the left.
What is right?
It doesn’t even have to cross your mind.

With my little white and cream spotted dog who sits beside me,
we are both headed to the left.

When life tests our patience or
I am not patient…I have trouble waiting
for the fruit to ripen...at these times,
I am a king whose thrown has been flipped upside down. Yet,

I still feel the little winged angel
who flies above tall buildings.

Do you believe me?

We can learn to move swiftly
on a day like today
when the sky is purple and yellow.
We can move with the beauty of the earth
when we trust life
regardless of the lack of security we may feel here.

When life tests your patience, or
you are not patient with life can you
still feel the crown of your head radiate?

Today, I can digest adventure.
I don’t need to jump
off a cliff.

We move below a purple, blue, and yellow sky
when we fly with refreshed emotions.

Lit up by a new direction---I can see
with vision.
We are not the only ones who plan our lives.
When we move gracefully with openness to each evolving day,
we can hang onto the fire that has erected before us.

I am standing in the middle of an spread out path
in front of clear waters
as blue as the sky that rests behind us.

I see a glow above my head; light is emitted
when I put one foot slightly in front of the other
wearing pale yellow tights and a fire engine red mini dress.

I recognize this: we can trust our guts
when our feet are rooted
on a brave and self-reliant path.
