Catalyst

waiting
watching
for a tidal shift
from ebb to flow

no impetus for change
beyond my own
ego ambition

no reason to progress
beyond my own
distaste of stagnation

no forward motion
just busy work
to fend off boredom

no serendipity
just logistical
calculation

when does the plan end
and the dream begin?

where does my journey
truly start?

it can only happen
within the stillness
of now

it can only occur
within the space
of my heart

let the flame
of passion
ignite my soul

let my ship
finally depart
