Walking Toward, Not Walking From

New poem inspired by

Enlightenment

 

Memories of a time

Saddened with loss,

Dragging me along.

My resistance didn’t matter.

Slowly I learned to stop running,

And embrace the hardness and transformation.

I was engulfed, not able to breathe.

I surrendered the struggle.

Today,

I breathe.

Today,

I smile.

New memories

New Life

New me

Tomorrow,

Memories of a time

Enlightened with love.
