It is okay to be in this space

The transition the messy in between

I’ve moved on from that other place

Not yet clear of the smoke screen

Lies and memories left behind

But some of the puzzle is still missing

Hidden in the shadows of my mind

All that sadness I’ve been reminiscing

This is the messiness

This is the waiting

This is all the craziness

At last seems to be abating

All this uncertainty

Is coming to an end

Bringing in a new normality

But everything is moving so slow

Still I wonder

Will I get to where I want to go

Even when the journey gets tough and long

And you wonder

If you can be that strong

The messy middle is for doors closing

And with it

Will go what needs disposing

The opening of a new door

Is a journey to begin

With opportunities waiting to explore

Embrace the messy middle don’t be afraid

Because this is where

Transformations are made.
