“Godspeed”

With college diploma in my hand

Deep exhalations & radiant smiles

Congratulations!! from by-stand

For stones carried all the miles

What I would have preferred

On the cards, spoken with flair

If I could now choose a new word;

“Godspeed” prayed, sung into air

My achievements & my future goals

Traps in revolving ego-door on road

When Life is a journey of the Soul

A winding way of sacred thresholds

In time travel visit to my younger me

Just commencing adult pathway

I’ll whisper to HER, “Godspeed”

Protection & prosperity, everyday—

You are enough just in your barefeet

You are loved when your heartbreaks

You are safe walking with uncertainty

Life itself IS prosperity, & will not forsake

Congratulatory living isn’t quite right

Not something we achieve, only

Awareness that for our precious flight

The Altimeter is set at “Godspeed”
