Tiny Moments, Profound Impact

The moments that actually change your life do not with drumrolls arrive

For a long time, I did not realize this truth, I was naive

And believed that the highlights of my life that everyone could see

Would be the ones that marked life changes for me

*

The moments that completely altered my life’s course

Are indelibly imprinted on my mind, but the incredible force

That they exerted on my life is known to no one but me

They started out as a small voice in my head, an epiphany

When I acted on that voice, I had a sixth sense 

That I was headed for a change in my life intense

*

When those events occurred, people around me were oblivious

To the profound changes in my life but to me it was obvious

That a binary event had occurred, one that would divide

My life into a before and an after, into two different sides

It was confusing, it was disorienting, it was exciting as well

But it was a solitary experience, there was no one to tell

*

I still marvel at those seemingly insignificant moments that became

So monumental that things did not stay the same

Perhaps I should compile them and write about them one day

It would be illuminating to identify the factors that paved my way
