This kind of thing
(they say)
happens every day
Just not to you —
A detour of life
that topples
all the urgent priorities —
The consequence of dropping them
is still unknown
New landscapes emerge
and the old goals
however dearly you desired to reach them
Must now be reassessed
But none of this is as it seems
and all the things you called your dreams
though now in shards
can never mar
the rising of your being
You’ll take these shambled obstacles
and burn a path
brighter for what you must blaze through
You’ll leave behind
some of your plans
but you’ll deliver
You.
