Once Again
Look for the turning point in one's path.
Once again my heart is tried;Once again I saw joy that could not hide.
Once again the stark cold of reality splashes my face;Once again I must chose the winning path of the race.
Once again I thought I could have it all;Once again my selfish desires are shattered against the wall.
Once again I leave behind my desire;Once again I burn it upon a pyre.
Once again I arise from the ashes;Once again the opportunity for joy did not turn into a crisis.
Once again a turning point presented itself;Once again I do what I know is best for myself.
Once again change is around the bend;Once again mixed signals to God I cannot send.
Once again my wings shake off the rain;Once again I am ready to fly again.

As a child I had a flair for the dramatic; as an adult, the flair has turned into a subtle, yet continuous hum. I love to see the world through different scopes and to tell stories based on the takeaway. Cheers!
