A Corner Turned

An example of a poem written for one very special reason at one moment in time, but which now applies to a very different situation.

A Corner Turned

And now the thing is done -
The post that seemed so far away
That never would be reached
Has become a milestone passed along the way
Already long behind me
Fading into hazy distance
A cross-ways of sorts
A turning-point achieved

Breath exhaled and a sigh released
Then confident strides along
A new and different path
As it stretches out ahead
The course a changed one
The direction of travel
Along a new trajectory
Perhaps towards the same horizon
