growing pains

it was a spiritual fire
a dance laced
with desire
aspirations
to touch the sky


no more wandering
no more wondering
no more
no more
no more
…………….. whys

 

the cant’s
no longer
displayed on a shelf
into life’s trash barrel
throwing out
is good for the soul

 

make room
make way
expand your lungs
with the deepest breath
holding it a little longer
than yesterday

 

now

 

spew out
the old mind set

 

there are always pains
in growing

 

set your target
aim straight
set a pace
step
……by
…………leap
your faith
won’t let you down

 

take your pill
of courage
the breath
that starts each day

 

for it’s just a little ache
a little reluctance
no more
dragging of feet

 

it’s only
a little pain
……………your growing
