About Face

On Resolve, return, and redemption

A quick turn,

Healed scars

Remnants,

Of a burn

Aged thoughts

Buried beneath,

Sealed,

A time lost

If you’re willing

To open the door

To walk through the dark

Your belief,

Your trust,

Guiding you through

When you emerge,

Free, clean and clear

You realize it was all a fear

A lie told onto yourself

To protect the ego

Until you realize

Wherever you go,

We go

You can never be alone

If you take a quick turn,

And go by what you feel

Don’t get caught in the race,

All you need is there,

An about face.

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

There are some choices that allow us opportunity to do over. To go back and make the right decision in the end. To right a wrong we may have made. Not all choices are permanent, only our stubbornness is. I really liked the message of this poem. Thank you for sharing it with us.
