A New Venture

A New Venture

I was hit by a massive blow
And remained stunned until I know not when.
Life seemed to have come to a notch.
Hours, days, weeks trudged on slowly
until an innovative ideation struck me 
like a shooting arrow deep into my heart
piercing my very being.
It was the awakening!
My backbone straightened,
as shoulders rose up to their full height,
the mind cleared while the eyes began to envision.
I stood on my feet light as ever.
excitement overtook the daze and confusion.
I opened new doorways and brazenly enjoyed the raison d'être 
of my hidden desires.
