Shifting into a new you
a choice—
a flame lit within me
that dares to see clearly.
A mind eager to move,
to stride beyond
the weight of yesterday,
to carve life
upon the scale of dreams.
It holds a vision—
a bridge from what is
to what may be,
a spark of magic,
an intuition, rare yet human,
ordinary yet divine.
My mind becomes,
a mind unfolding—
a powerful, magical mind,
a mind reborn
a mind forlorn.
