The Compass

what she says has gravity

a truth that pulls you closer to the ground

brings your feet to meet the earth and demands you walk a mile

in your own shoes

and see that the toe is starting to crack a bit

your footwear is not impervious to doubt

nor is your destination

but when judgement is cast it is up to you

to either let bitterness overwhelm you to a point where you stand still

or to truly examine your direction

and there is nothing wrong with turning around

going back the other way

it is your path

any

way

it goes

so when she forces you to take a look at it

and you see you are indeed traveling the direction you desire

you should feel fortunate to have a heart that works well
as a compass
