Pre Destiny

Its time
to be still
envelope me in silence
engulf me in quiet

Time to rest
recuperate
regenerate
let my body heal
let my spirit prepare

It is the calm
before the next storm
prior to the wild winds
of life
the chaos and bright lights
of the future
the hectic, frenetic energy
the all consuming, all demanding
never yielding expectations
the insurmountable, inhumane
unrealistic, but will be accomplished
expectations
that linger on my horizon

so I will be still
for this brief moment
deeply inhale
slowly exhale

feel the pressure seeping

from my mind
listen to the rhythm
of my heart

understand the destiny
of my life
