Have Reached My Destination

used to have ambitions
goals
wanted to be a nurse and I did that
was on a mission to be a wife and      mother

but life took me down a different path
I always had this natural ability to write
not something that can be taught but born within
and I have the gift and love of dance

and in my dreams and reverie I     imagine
myself a world famous writer
poet
and in my fantasy sleep state I am the best
dancer
on the stage as I leap and spin and fly
and the audience applauds
it is really a wonderful dream

my destiny was written
and my family    my love and baby (reside in Heaven)
I have no brood of children     no parents     
(no husband yet)
my life has taken a different path
I have friends who are my tribe and support
and I love them so much for that
they are my kindred spirits 

so the purpose of my life is this . . . 
to be the best that I can be at whatever I do
and to dwell in peace and tranquility
and I have traveled a journey far and winding
to a place where all is serene
and have at last reached my      
destination

Robert Lindley Date: 6/3/2018 12:44:00 PM We each walk the life made by our desires, dreams, ambitions and actual footsteps taken. My life certainly took me down a far, far different path that I had once envisioned that it would, yet I have been blessed to have arrived at an even far, far better place that imagined. As always great poetry my friend-- a fav.... Login to Reply

James Inman Date: 6/3/2018 5:49:00 AM Hi BW, I wish I could say I had a mission in life, or destiny, but I'm afraid looking back for me, everything seems to have been the result of random spur of the moment choices. A lovely thought provoking poem. Login to Reply
