Turning Points
I am sitting in the tidewater
And I’m afraid of fish
Is moving to an uncomfortable zone
A way fulfilling a life-long wish
Is pressing the edge of the envelope
A means of emerging from the box
Is reaching for that which frightens me
A way of opening up the locks
Is soaring to a higher plateau
A way of challenging my fear
Is opening my eyes and taking the leap
A way of rising up from here
Is stepping into the dark of night
Determined and at peace
A way of letting my inner strength
Roar out in full release
Is my life a list of gotta do’s
To become all that I can be
Or is this the way that it was written
In my book of destiny
