The Decision That Changed Everything : A Sonnet

I decided to put myself in a very different situation nearly three years ago... and learnt every part of adulting from scratch..

New country, new people, new job, responsibilities of household, protecting my wife and a whole array of sudden and emergency events involving money...

This piece of sonnet that I scribbled last night is a true reflection of my current phase

Three winters past, I cast my lot aside

And stepped through stranger gates to unknown shores,

Where every stone of adult life I tried

To learn by hand—its weight, its hidden doors.

New skies, new tongues, a job that claimed the days,

A hearth to keep, its rhythms mine to chart;

I stood between my wife and tempests’ rage,

A shield of will when fortune pierced the heart.

Sudden the bills like arrows in the night,

Emergencies that drained both purse and nerve

Yet in each trial we kindled inner light,

And built a home where courage learned to serve.

I FlY...

Looking down in amazement I see
From up the edge of the cliff I set myself free
I jump like a grasshoper in to the endless sea
With my wings wide open from now I be me

Up in the clouds up so high
Like a shooting star here I fly
With my tail as a rudder
To the left in the ocean so far
And the endless winds that roar

To the future that I see
I fly to the land thats unseen
To find a new identity called me
Peace, love and affection is what I need

In the summer I fly like a blaze
And the rains wet like a drizzle
Snow make me white like a flake
spring gave me hope for the new

There were empires under me as I look down
Filled with the trees so lush green
Soon I enter the land of un known
And here I proclaim im the king of my own
