What Happens With Me
Updated: Apr 9, 2018
Grief claws at me,
sneaks from its depths
to threaten me with
apprehension and fear.
Loss pulls at me,
sours my joy with melancholy,
promising to unravel
what I know to be true.
Hope gets under me,
lifts me from uncertainty’s frozen grip,
inviting me to step forward,
to lean into myself.
Strength emboldens me,
infusing me with courage,
determination and love,
calling me away from the past.
Faith promises me
that my chosen path
is a truth I can’t deny,
guiding me to cross over.
Knowing fills me
with all I need
to embrace the gifts
placed before me on this journey.
Gratitude opens me
welcoming myself
with the embrace of a lover
coming home to my heart.
