Spontaneous Steps

A poem about life

A life shaped by choice,

each step taken

through signs that

lead us to follow

the universe -

down a road we desire.

Felt deeply in our hearts;

We chose it because

of signs we see,

meant for us to follow.

We gain power of truth

and desires met with fantasy,

love, joy, happiness.

But what if we chose not to take it?

What would happen?

Would life unravel?

Would the road darken?

Will it all turn sour?

Will negativity lead us

to pain and sorrow?

Maybe not.

This is why awareness matters—

listening, pausing,

using our intuition

instead of fear,

letting light reveal the path,

one step at a time.

Intuition captured through awareness,

enlightening us on our way.

Because every moment is a choice.

A whisper from the universe,

from God,

from those who loved us before

they left their bodies behind,

from angels,

guides,

or simply the soul remembering itself.

Believe what you will -

for belief in light

leads to love,

to joy,

to happiness,

to abundance without edges.

Peace and joy to you all.
