Many Worlds Surround Us

My soul is in a bad way 
    Different worlds are calling me 
and pulling me in 
   different directions 
What path to choose? 
Can I continue in the 
   same direction? 
Or should I make 
   an about face? 
Only I know the answer to that 
 Deep within
I will find it 
    after they scrape away the mold 
and barnacles from my soul 
   Eventually, I will soar like an eagle 
   And look down with pity 
on those stuck on the ground 
I will feel the joy of freedom 
    As it wraps its powerful arms around me 
One day in the not - too - distant future

There is something exciting about impending change. I hope you took the leap of faith. "Fortune favors the bold!"

matt, this one makes me think that you are considering maybe a change in career or where you live? What changes do you foresee? I really liked reading this one.
