A New Era

Change is on the wind
A chill rolls through my bones
A new season of my life
A chapter closed

I turn a page to start fresh
To be alive is truly precious
Won't catch me taking it for granted

Recognized my shortcomings
Making a plan to change it
What good is life if you waste it?

Life is about to change
Perhaps even drastically
All in due time
Things are happening
Just as they are supposed to be

Growth is natural
And this?
The catharsis of an Artist

I'm ready for whatever life's got to offer
Except what doesn't serve me
Owe it to myself to honor me always

If I have to diminish my brightness
For another's comfort
Then that doesn't align with my purpose
And must be discarded
