I always thought life-changing moments would
Announce themselves with a bang as they should
They would propel me higher or deliver a blow
But the impact would be powerful enough for everyone to know..
*
The older I get, the more I realize
Life-changing moments tend to take me by surprise
Catching up to me stealthily from behind
Audible as a whisper but resonant in my mind
A seismic change I feel in my bones
But that change is noticed by me alone..
*
I had romanticized the idea that landmark events
Would shape my destiny, unprecedented opportunities present
To take a giant leap of faith, I would experience transformation profound
I would accomplish improbable feats with energy newfound
But momentous moments have had little impact
On deciding the course of my life, in fact
An epiphany has changed life in an instant
When changing something was not my intent..
*
When life brings about change, I surrender and embrace
The change that may take me to a better place
Passion...unbridled
