This post is inspired by V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #27: Intent
Turning the Page
Decades tethered spider-like
to needy souls
Absorbing the self.
No more.
Navigating a fresh path
With intent to renew the spirit
Lost for so long
Buried but not forgotten.
Uncovering
The quiet.
The peaceful.
The spark.
Liberating the authentic
Allowing time to…
Sit still.
Breathe…
Behold…
and…
Read the entire paper
over coffee.
Or not.
Funny that after all the years of struggle it is the simple things that fulfill us now. “Decades tethered spider-like” – what a wonderful image.
