Bright Spark Poem by Shirley Harrison

Bright Spark



Today I lightened my life's load
and I did something so very courageous

for once I thought of myself
and now
I will return to who I was
and not to who I would have become
under a moon of hypocrisy

and who knows?
I might even get a few pleasant surprises
along the way?

well, when one takes a leap into the unknown
the unknown could quite possibly turn out

to be the best friend you ever had.
