The “A-ha Moment" is a short poem that depicts the moment everything becomes crystal clear.
The time we learn which direction our footsteps are meant to follow.

The A-ha Moment

Meeting others
from all walks of life,
teaches us lessons.

As we trip and fall
upon a crooked path,
eventually learning our footsteps
are not meant to be there.

We pick ourselves up,
hoping to get it right,
starting our journey once more
with one foot in front of the other.

With trial and error
knocking at our door
until an a-ha moment appears,
making everything crystal clear,
showing us the road
we’re meant to travel.

My passion is poetry. My muse is sparked by emotion & observation. The world is a giant canvas. It waits on us to paint the detail with our words. (HI writer)
