What if
She took the straight path
What if
She takes the high road
Of twists and turns
Teetering on the edge
Of her next decision
One more step
she chose to climb
Up hill
The climb endless
Shadows relentless is their chase
What if
she turned back
She stops
At the edge
The edge of herself
She finds her centre
Her core
Her essence
She takes one more step
The journey has been worth it
She has reached her destination
And
now she is ready to fall in love
With herself all over again
I have reached my fabulous 50s. Guess what, it’s okay. 20 years in the health and wellness industry. Educating men and women on the importance of nourishing their bodies with good food, moving with integrity, recharging their energy levels and empowering their minds. I love my job. A mother of two boys who are now men and my greatest achievement. A lover of words, an aspiring author with a book written and no idea where to go next, a poet who writes from the heart and her vulnerability. A foodie who loves to experiment, a salad lover , But not just your Every day salad, I throw in anything you can think of it ends up in my salad. I have a reputation for making the greatest weirdest salads around. As a total contradiction, I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. I rescue abandoned souls in the bodies of dogs, an animal lover, Who sometimes likes animals more than humans. My teacher in life, my mother never ceases to amaze me. I am one fortunate human being who is filled with gratitude for the life she lives. View more posts
Beautiful, Jenette… and especially at ‘ the edge of herself she finds her centre’,

A magnificent poem my friend. Your take on this prompt is wonderful. The what ifs and what fors are the staples of a writers diet. Without them, our imaginations would wither and fade away.
