In my rear view mirror I see
The universe within
From origins to destinations
Where our journey of life begins
The roads we travel
With many twists and turns
Crossroads with choices aplenty
Resulting in countless lessons we’ve learned
The embrace of love
And the scars of heartache
The evolution of a relationship
To each other we give and take
Matters of the heart in
Marriage and divorce
Leave behind the sorrow
Chart a new constructive course
Always looking forward
Yet, still aware of the past
Seek the truth from all sides
Resist impatient urges so fast
Looking inward
My confidence to re-invent
Conduct outwardly
Actions of good intent
Encourage the finer side of me
Weigh out the good and bad
Lean on the impulse to laugh
Shy away from thoughts so sad
Like a squirrel following a trail
Advice left from my future self
Clues for my inner detective
Leading to my emotional wealth
So with open eyes and heart
My true destiny I look to see
I’ll get there in due time
In search of me
