Part IV.

There is a reawakening in

My Soul

Back to Basics

Where was I in the beginning?

Return, methodically

But felt in fits and starts

To reverse the

Daily

Drops of

poison

I swallowed

over the years.

Start again

Start over

Back to Basics.

I have been inspired

By harsh and stark landscapes

And

By lush foliage alike!

And now I am inspired by

My very own

Awakening

The same spotted comp book I loved, carried around and clung to as a child, can’t fail me now.

“Hello, old friend!”

(I rejected you for so long, and in doing so, I rejected myself. I thought I threw away the odd, lonely

child. I threw all of her away,

Failing to see her Beauty.)

Part V.

Mirrors

wisp of cloud trails me

lightness follows

Mirrors of what we Wish

We could become.

We

Already

Are.

Just say yes!
