Poem For Colorado

I was a mix of emotions on the last day,

Don’t wanna leave but I know I can’t stay.

Fifteen years is a good chunk of life,

So much growth through struggle and strife.

The timing was right to claim what’s mine,

Knowing deep down it’s all by design.

A test, a lesson and probably both,

Showing the universe all of my growth.

Woke up one day like a month ago,

One of those moments when I just know.

Colorado or bust to get my stuff,

Knowing damn well this was gonna be tough.

The stars aligned in every which way,

I was given a van and a place to stay.

Nudged from the universe to have some fun,

Three years of patience so job well done.

A sense of relief washed over me,

I tend to feel stagnant when I just have to be.

I tend get restless, I always want more,

Freed from a cage, I just wanna soar.

Time to declutter and take what I need,

Donating most the message to heed.

Practice the art of letting go,

People and stuff and things that I know.

My team is so proud I’ve come so far,

Proving myself as the Rising Star.

Getting some closure on this part of life,

The student, the alchy and briefly a wife.

Reflecting emotions and all that I feel,

Taking some actions ensuring I heal.

So bitter sweet as I think of it all,

How many times I’d fall and then crawl.

All of my demons and shadows displayed,

All the consequences you bet that I paid.

Funny how now I can clearly see,

Just how important this all was for me.

This part of my life it had to take place,

All of my struggles with fears to face.

It’s all just a part of the master plan,

To get me to see that ‘ yes I can’.

It’s all about self and discovering you,

Making one stronger in all that you do.

Still standing tall after every hit,

Colorado is where I learned my true grit.

Thank you I love you as I wave goodbye,

Time to continue learning to fly.

So much gratitude I have in my heart,

Thankful and eager with every fresh start.

What happens next my team only knows,

I follow the Light wherever it goes.

Happy to close this chapter of mine,

Excited to see what’s next to align.

Driven and led by invisible forces,

Who think it’s funny to make me hold horses.

Teaching me things like how to wait,

Along with joy and love and fate.

I have loving kindness with all that I do,

Always forgiving and tolerate too.

Protected and cloaked in a golden light,

Teaching me how to always do right.

Unconditional love is all that they show,

As I navigate all of the ebb and the flow.

With each passing day I learn something new,

As they help me decipher all that is true.

Hip hip hooray what a glorious day,

So proud of myself in every way!
