Threshold of the Future

Here we stand
The Threshold of the Future
The time when destructive behavior patterns
No longer lead us forward

Old structures breakdown
New blocks and chains arise
People search for answers
To the purpose and meaning of life

The challenges we face
as individuals,
as a society,
as a culture
and as a planet
have only just begun

When times get tough
Don’t compromise, don’t give in
The true answers only come from within
Only one way forward
Maintain peace
Keep in balance
Adapt to the ever-changing world

Each of us must now walk the path
Letting go of what no longer serves our highest and best
Time to embody the spiritual core of our being
Time to evolve
Release the chains of the lower self
Vibrate on a higher level

The road ahead seems dark and forbidding
Doubts assail us
Don’t falter
Full Steem Ahead!
Open your heart
Shine the light of truth and love out into the world

Walk the talk
Lead by example
Connect with others
We must do no less

haha I'm sure I wasn't the only one!

First motivational poem I have read. Very nicely written. Great job!

thank you @ladywoodie

I am not exactly sure where the top of Zen mountain is :), but in the lower plains of that mountain it seems to have been a rough year for many - including but not limited to the citizens of the United States. Your poem resonates with me, but I am likely projecting my own stuff onto your words. I suppose that is what makes good poetry. Job well done.

many thanks for your honest words @zheimberg
wishing you much peace,
