reversing inertia

reversing inertia
pushing the rock
forward momentum
little steps, at all cost

changing the wind
the path undertaken
steps forward, little by little
this rock will move

Time to change

Time to change
to be more faithful
to say enough
to reject the past
the internal chatter
the naysayers
Time to count our blessing
not our faults.
