Restoration

the wind shakes loudly in my ear and leaves fly in spirals around my fingertips
new colors surround my retinas and hope envelops my skin
strings of a viola and sounds of passion embellish what my heart longs to say and what my soul yearns to hold again
the fields of peace surround me and I'm in the middle of it all with more heart than a body can handle,
from all directions voices of love take my breath away and my heart beats for what it could have someday,
eyes closed and heart open I see more now than I ever could before.
realization sinks deep to my toes as I see who you are and love genuinely what I see.
heavy and light at the same time, I don't know which way is which,
happily lost and forever found I am undivided and my thirst sincerely quenched
every uttered word from your lips shakes my soul to the bone and fractures every insecurity,
I watch as negativity dissipates into nothing and as depth gladly takes its place,
my arms held wide open and my smile spread far, I welcome every blessed moment of felicity,
tears stream down my face and fall to the ground, watering every part of who I am,
what used to be caverns of pain are now mountains of life and everything has become relevant
to a journey I can't wait to begin.
smiling through the blur I see undoubtedly now
that I belong nowhere else than in your arms

Essence of Serenity

The world was crashing against my soul
Beating it down like the natural disaster my life truly was
Trudging in the mud for days on end until my feet became
so blistered and until my heart became
so numb
Trapped inside the bed that I unknowingly made for myself
In a life I never wanted to call my own

Yet now I sit, with the joy of a 3 year old running with the river
and the serenity of a heart sitting with a book below the mountains
Covered by the sound of the water and by the safety of the trees.

The world has stopped crashing and my soul can now rest
In the peace of the river flowing over the rocks telling me stories of comfort
And in the sun behind a single cloud with a heart full of passion
Telling me that it's ok now
And you can smile again.

So I do
And the blisters and numbness leave with one command
Inspiration exploding into truth
of a life I finally do get to call my own
With true hearts mending
and relationships growing into all it was supposed to be before.
With forgiving friends and loving family
And girls at a cabin creating for me fresh starts and new beginnings
For a journey far better than the last
The true essence of serenity.
