Alive
This was written at a point in my life when I was getting back on my feet. I was in a good place. That didn't last long anyway. But now? Now things are much different and much better. I'm almost at that place where I know I'm completely healed. I can feel it. Perhaps the universe finally heard my prayers. And I love the feeling.

Take a look.

I found my voice
Amidst cracks and patches,
Croaking in the beginning
Like a frog in a dirt puddle,
Wiggling it’s weak tail.
I found the words
Amidst debris and stones,
Written in unclear letters,
Hidden under the soil,
Waiting for me to come through.

I found my feet
Amidst sore joints and muscles,
Struggling to stand upright
Like a new born.
Falling without aid.
I found them
Amidst worn boots and jeans,
With holes on each pair,
The threads and pins sitting beside them,
Waiting for me to stitch them up.

I found my strength
Amidst feeble muscles and sinews,
Stretching warily in the morning
Like an old chair,
Creaking when stepped on.
I found it
Amidst lost hope and dreams.
Each looking me in the eye,
Pleading in mockery,
Daring me to make a move.

I found my pen
Amidst shredded books and rat faeces,
Dusty and rotten with age,
Like an abandoned castle
Covered with cobwebs and peeling paint.
I found it
Amidst weak papers and smeared ink,
Splattered as if on purpose,
Blurring the letters and numbers,
Awaiting my arrival.

Nice that you found that pen and wrote away at these beautiful words
It's always looking for the beauty in the crazies and allowing it to blossom

Beauty in the crazies. I like that. I think it was my pen that found me this time.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you, Ash. It has been better and I'm really grateful for it. I'm embracing the moment and I see it lasting this which is a good thing.

It's been a while. How have you been?

Love and light πŸ’™
