I walked a mile in my own shoes tonight,
And I cried every step of the way.
I had empathy for myself
And poured out a wealth of understanding
From the kingdom that is within me.
The Tablet of Destinies had lied about me,
Directing me to things that were never going to happen.
The Fates had woven a shoddy tapestry
Out of second hand yarn.
But tonight I burned free, in a baptizing fire.
Nuclear brilliance fused within me,
And pure Soul fed me the Waters of Life
‘Til it cooled the Evil Wind.
Now, I see clearly the true possibility,
The Ways that open so deftly for me.
And I will reach that good-hoped future,
And I won’t be fooled again.
