Question for an inquisitive mind


(A lone voice whispers)



Have you ever stepped inside



The cleansing purple transformational circle of emotional fire


Some call it a mid-life crisis

Some a new awakening 



And been absolved of all your worldly sins



Been burnt metaphysically and spiritually 


To be purified of nearly all your old personal whims



Are you now baptised and reborn to live past twenty twenty-two



Past all the seas of relentless fear trying to drown you 



But still drinking warm new Costa coffee



Swirling just lost down lifes seemingly never-ending routines



Do not fear the future but now chase all those old dreams



Which you still unconsciously nurture



For you can create your own version of heaven and then still serve her 



Are you still on the road seeking new stories as they are quietly being told



Are you into emotional music reading or just deep poetry



As you still walk under this life's great old oak tree



Are you glad to be alive



Well, here's to you



Keep finding the strength and determination to always rise



For whatever you're enduring



Just remember to be proud 



You still have a chance to find true happiness because you're still alive 



Because God built into you all the tools 



You'll ever need to help you survive



For the next twenty-five
