Quote: By Travis Jerome Montgomery Wilson   

"The Awakening"

As I'm sitting on my sofa, in the stillness of loneliness my mind and thoughts are not set adrift wandering. Nor is it pondering, of past pain, sorrow, heartbreak, or failed endeavors of my youth.

As I set at the pier of the unknown, I took my leap of faith, and cast my soul into the sea of life along with it my hopes, dreams, aspirations and fears. 

I held strong, to my convictions, and the dreams that my heart produced, and showing my true resolve, knowing that when any problems that might arise, that it to could be solved.

I am that small rudder of a mighty vessel at sea, that does not break or splinter, from the storms of the raging sea.

Fore, I to am beaten, battered and worn, but my fortitude has been forged through the battles of an unjust life. 

When the seeds of doubt were sown against me, and the cards that were dealt to my hand, I did not fold nor falter with them,

I accepted it as a man.

You do not have to live in dread, when your dreams, can ride on the wind. Fore, loneliness is not a shackle, that I abide by anymore. 

It is a ghost of the past, a shadow that lingers no more. It is that consciousness of stillness, that I have gleefully embraced.

Like the Phoenix risen from the ash, I now know my place. My destiny and path await me, over the horizon I can truly see that if I stayed in the realm of my loneliness this to would not be.
