8/16/2025 for when my life changes Poetry Contest sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann

Earthbound, beneath the dark sky above,
enduring a empty endless night, 
I first gave my heart over to love,
and my spirit suddenly took flight. 

Illuminated by this newfound light,
what had for long been a dormant seed,
nourished by astonishing delight, 
was, at once, fortuitously freed.  

What followed, then, with surprising speed, 
a sleepless child, who would fuss and cry, 
prompting me to find a story to read,
and forever asking, "why, why, why". 

It seems life's best changes do appear 
when embarking on a new frontier.
