'A Blossoming Journey'

'The isolation is
overpowering.

She feels overwhelmed
by this absence

Until another
emerges from the dark'...

--Connected, from 'A Blossoming Journey'

Don't Let Go

Don't ever let go of

the thread.

Even when life

takes away

What you held close

for so long,

You never let go 

of that thread.

Even when your trust

is betrayed,

When the ones you

believed in

Weaves a web 

of deceit,

You never let go

of that thread.

Hold on for dear life,

since this sacred thread

Which is now frayed

is a path to more

Intricate stories to come,

adding another layer

To your evolving

life journey.

You never let go

of that thread.

Steadily

I see promise

all around me,

Rising like a bud

breaking through dirt,

It grows slowly,

steadily, until

It shoots up

with firm quickness.

I see this as 

I prepare for

My next step,

and ready myself

For the growth

that is to come.
