Disbelief

I believed you were not

like the others, 

Like your actions differed 

from the others 

That deceived me,

yet I was mistaken,

And I am left here 

to wonder how 

I could allow myself 

to be misled.

I can only learn

from this moment,

To be more cautious

in future encounters,

Yet I am left with

a lingering sense 

Of betrayal 

from what transpired

Between you and me.

Put to Rest

I put my troubles

to rest and look forward to 

opportunities,

ready to open the door

and welcome new beginnings.

Waning Year

In this peacefulness

of year's end,

I am mindful 

to review the joys

My life has brought,

as well as setbacks.

The time came 

to move forward,

To walk out from

the isolated space

I lived in for so long,

and this action

Has placed limitless

blessings on my path.

Today I still come

across challenges;

At times stressful, painful,

yet needed so I may grow.

Now as the year wanes,

I am thankful of 

The blessings placed in my life,

and the mystery of what's ahead.

Time to Continue

Dramatic events
have subsided. It is now
time to continue
to move forward with the best
for my life at this moment.

Change

As the year winds down,

I look ahead to what can

change for the better.

A Gift

It takes patience 

for change to occur,

Days, weeks, months.

It may feel frustrating

To wait, but change

doesn't happen in an instant.

It helps to be mindful 

that the waiting will lead

To a positive change,

the most precious gift.

Clear the Block

This block does not
differ from the others.

It takes a different form
and holds a different meaning,

Yet it is a barrier
all the same.

When it involves the heart
it feels monumental;

When it involves emotions,
it seems beyond repair.

Taking a deep breath,
I move without hesitation;

I move to clear the block,
steady and determined.
