A journey past where winds have blown,
each step I take, I must now own.
Distractions fade, ego has flown,
awareness travels through my bones.
A land as still as solid stone,
embrace my thoughts, my sacred zone.
Little old shack, beautiful throne,
holds so much more than what is shown.
A place to face every unknown,
to heal old pain, so tears are sewn.
The time is now, must not postpone,
answer my inner telephone.
A trip where guilts come to atone,
regrets all die, shame is outgrown.
All by myself, never alone,
reveals visions my soul has known.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

There are layers to this poem. “… each step I take, I must now own”. Responsibility to oneself, for one’s actions and perceptions. To me, there is something very important in that.
Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Yes, self accountability is essential. 💕
