Odyssey

I never felt like I belonged Always searching, walking a never ending journey But then one day I woke up Started to listen to my heart, feel it's beat For the first time I took notice of all that was around me I saw oceans so blue Mountains so high Even hugged a tree in the lush rainforrest For the first time I felt the wind on my skin I smelt the aroma's in the air Where had I'd been As I twirled like a little girl under the warmth of the rain I laughed open heartedly I couldn't believe just how incredible life on earth was How my soul felt so alive Now I know where I belong & my odyssey has now begun..

Was it a moment of inspiration or a spark of insanity that brought you from the shadows. Reading this poem makes me think the answer to the other question I asked was no, but maybe there is a duality. I guess more reading is required.

All about awakening Wayland, little things we take for granted & don't realise walking a path in life that is fake, only to then one day wake up & see & feel where you have been all along! So then you start a new odyssey! Thank you for you visit & your feedback truly means alot :)
