Going Around in Circles

Many a time one may get a sinking feeling that one is going round and round
One may crave yet not find one’s direction that may make one feel stuck and bound
One may desire for a change of music and you may not even tolerate your own sound
There are those moments when you feel lonely and lost and old memories come to hound

Going through the daily motions in a mechanical manner may feel like an eternal chore
Infusing enthusiasm and a sense of joy in your daily existence may need you to identify your core
Being aware yet not moving forward may leave you feeling displaced and caught up in a maze
You may passionately seek out a change in a lifestyle to find your way out of the raging blaze

Your Universe may be made up of family, friends, well-wishers and colleagues at the work place
Each one doles out their opinion on how they think you should live out this transition phase
They may have your best interests in mind yet may never know the depths of your inner mind
You need to trust your judgement and make a firm choice to extricate yourself from the bind

You may not have the complete clarity about the road ahead and how the future will unfold
You need to trust that the higher power is taking care of you and will not leave you dry and cold
You need to leave your inhibitions and start taking initiatives that may even seem fairly bold
The key to change your destiny is to appreciate reality and dream big to find your share of gold

As you take your baby steps and leave behind the past of self-doubts that seemed to prevail
You will observe the distinct change in the direction of flow of wind energy that helps you set sail
Avoid the urge to revisit all your past decisions by putting it up for scrutiny under the microscope
Just stay with the flow and realization will dawn about the eternal protection to enable living out your hopes!

Is this poem dedicated to me :):) It's reminiscent of our most recent conversation. I especially liked this line:

"Avoid the urge to revisit all your past decisions by putting it up for scrutiny under the microscope"

This one thing probably clears the muck and brings in an abundance of emotional strength to move forward and do what the heart says.
