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.
