Emerging

Don't look back
Don't give in
You've come this far
The road is ahead, not behind

Voices promise the new
They call from both directions
Trust me, they say
Mine is the way

Listen to your mind
Hear in the quiet places of your heart
What is true
Where is light

Yesterday's pain
Tomorrow's possibility
A difficult choice to make
There is no choice

Blame is a barrier to freedom
Anger an assault on yourself
What was, was
What might be waits

The way ahead is neither smooth nor straight
But not strewn with broken pieces of life
The dues are paid
The key is in your hand

Don't be afraid
Don't look back
You're stronger than you dream
You've come this far
