Inner Ascent

I want to dive deep into my soul,
to search for answers profound and unspoken,
answers that stir awakening within,
that unsettle complacency and breathe
new life
into the quiet chambers of my being.

I yearn to travel beyond familiar horizons,
to embrace new ways of thinking,
to unlearn what no longer serves
and relearn the courage to see differently.

Each obstacle blocking my growth
becomes a threshold to cross,
each fear a lesson demanding honesty.
I press forward—sometimes faltering,
yet resolute—toward a higher calling,
where becoming matters more than arriving,
and the journey itself reshapes my soul.

A journey is not for arriving; it is for seeking paths eternal. Thoughtful write. Makes on think.
