Signs

The decisions that I have made recently were very difficult, and took a long time to make. There have been some very interesting things that have happened to me along the way. I call them signs. Signs telling me that I have made the right choices. Some of these are very small, and if I had not been in tune with what was going on around me, I would have missed them. Some of them so obvious that they gave me chills. I have to see all of these signs as something positive, as they appear to be.

I was speaking with a good friend this morning who years ago was in a very similar situation as mine. She said that there were walls all around her, that when she made the desion to leave, these walls all seemed to tumble down and she was able to find her way to happiness, as I seem to be doing.

Poems of the Day~

Many of these poems that I am going to be posting, have been written pre my decision to leave. It is interesting for me to read them now, knowing what I was going through at the time, and knowing how my mind was telling me that there was no way out. I would like to post the pre poems, and I will write another verse, or another poem following it, with a newer outlook.

Living in a Cage~

My life resides within this cage
Though beautiful it may seem

Sometimes I look outside these bars
And close my eyes and dream

Is there a life outside of this
Do I wish to be free?

How can I be so selfish
And think only of me

So in this cage I do live
Forever, it may seem

Sometimes I look outside these bars
And close my eyes and dream

But these bars I have just broken
And venture out I must

The freedom that I've chosen
Is right, I now can trust

The road that I now travel
I know, it may be long

But the new life that I have chosen
I know, cannot be wrong.

Til Tomorrow, fellow Bloggers!

It is interesting to me to look at my poems from that time. Right about the time I started my blog I wrote about 100 poems. Some I have posted, some I have not.
