Here is my contribution to National Poetry Month:

Back and forth
Up and down
Left and right
I've looked at my life from every angle
I'm searching
Still trying to figure out
Where I belong in this world
Thought i'd know by now
But it turns out
Life is a never ending spiral
Of learning
And growing
Changing
And evolving
Spiraling
Sometimes out of control
Finding oneself
Is an infinite quest
For knowledge
And understanding
That never ends
I've been looking for a while now
And just when I think
There she is
Something changes
And rearranges
My thoughts
I have hope
For my future
Now that I know
That the search for self knowledge
Will never end
I'm me
And will always be
But i've learned
To accept the changes
My eyes are open
And I feel free
To love me
And all of my faults
And inadequacies
I am who I am
And that's enough

Which way does a spiral point. from what I've read, I think your life is more like a funnel. Funneling in more about yourself. That's a good thing!

I am watching and listening and stealing some of your ideas.

You are obviously not new to writing poetry, I love this one, it speaks to me on so many levels.

Carey - You might be right about the funnel. I like that. Steal away, I trust you with my ideas.

Solomon - I'm glad you can relate.
