Making a Change

Something within my heart led me
Towards you and you embraced all
Of me as the fractured pieces were
Finally beginning to come together.
 
As I set sail something in the sea’s
Waves and tides changed. The wall
Fell. A different direction spurred
Me forward toward a new weather
 
Pattern that began to emerge. I was
Leaving behind fog, heartbreak and
Grey skies. Up ahead was sunshine.
I outdistanced the old me by miles
 
And miles. It was simply because
I never had the courage to stand
There, unable to draw a new line.
I had the same old and fake smiles
 
Day after day, but you must have
Seen something in me because you
Told me to say yes to the change in
In my heart even as it led me down
 
Another path, creating utter havoc
Along the highway. It might be too
Tricky someday, but under my skin
My soul is telling me to leave town
 
And one of the biggest changes of
All is finding another place to love.
