That was it.
You felt it, hovering,
the possibility of change.
You knew you only had to take a step
and life would never be the same.
You felt the moment filled with possibility
and stepped back urgently,
to familiar
mediocrity.

Shawn L. Bird 
Wow! I love this.
Thanks, Nancy.
I am currently in this exact moment of taking a step towards change. You really captured my feelings. It’s incredible. You have few words but so much meaning. Thank you.
Best wishes, Maria!
I have had that feeling and thought, “Damn the torpedos, full speed, ahead!” 🙂 It was a bumpy ride, but definitely worth it!
Exactly. 🙂
Where is the interest, hidden behind the fear!
Mrs. Bird,
it has been sometime since you have crossed my reader!
Now as i have given thought,
i miss your smiling avatar!
hugs & kisses chris
Ps; i hope the other half doesn’t mind,
my emotional affection?
lol
Oh, I think from this distance you’ll be safe enough.
Surprise, surprise i could be next door?
Benefits of living in a small town, you know all the neighbours. 🙂
Damn, no fouling you!
Mrs. Bird…
hugs & kisses chris
Love it 🙂
Thank you.
wow it greatly described my present life !!!!
Good luck navigating your moment!
Yup , i need all the luck
Well, you know what Tennessee Williams said: “Luck is believing you’re lucky.”
“Make it so!” (as Capt Picard would say).
haha great one… thanks 🙂
Now that’s sad.
But all too common, I think.
So easy to do, and so sadly expected by those who say they love us.
cat scratch fever, I am so truly blessed. but when I doallthese things I tend to get over-inspired n ruin the momentum…
God bless you my friend.

This is exactly what I want to avoid this year. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Your poem reminded me of this: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?…” Marianne Williamson
Loved it! ❤ CN
An excellent quote.
