A Purpose Driven Life
A purpose driven life they say
Easier said than done on some days
So many energy drainers, complainers, fakers
So much negativity, problems, concerns
Even the brightest of lights in the darkest of rooms
Needs another one to shine it out of the shadows
When you are deep beneath the surface
Pulled down from the clouds
Away from where the air is crisp and clean
Into a world full of mediocrity
Where good enough is the best that’s done
Where the voice of truth and reason lacks
Is this the place I want to rest my head?
Exasperated, the answer is clear
Looking out of an unconventional lens
Sometimes leads to discoveries
Differences in opinion
A change in circumstance
Yearning for another light to shine alongside
Needing the crisp clean air above the clouds
The desire to float above the dampness of this soil
Away from the dirt between bare feet
From the rocks and stones that thrash against skin
To a place of colour, of love, of trust
Open the windows and let that air in
The gusts that freeze against bare skin
Let the wind take me to a place I have never been
Away from this water, this puddle, this grave
To a journey, an adventure
Of discovery
Of truth
Of honesty
Pull all that’s left of me out of my soul
And let it guide my future
My life, my path
A purpose driven life I say.
