Somewhere Between Then and Now

Have you thought of roads not taken 

The choices you made 

Where did they lead?

The people who passed by you 

The lessons you learnt

Where did they go?

The waves of change 

Where they gentle, 

Forming overtime? 

As water flows to form a river

Where they rough, 

All consuming?

As a raging as a storm 

Now here, looking back 

The unbecoming that led to becoming 

Can you say, oh! that's why?

Learnt patience, in the waiting 

Learnt holding on, in the storm 

The reason for being 

Was in the growing 

Strength in the knowing 

Peace in the healing 

Somewhere between then and now
