As she leans over she stares into the beautiful blue waters
Waiting for a miracle to show itself in her life
Though she feels blessed each day for all her gifts
On this day she feels particularly sure of something nagging her spirit
She knows what lies beneath the surface is far deeper than she’s ever gone
Or wanted to go before
The healing will only take place if she opens each compartment
Long ago her experiences were stored within the confines of her psyche
But this nag is definitely loud and clear and the moment is almost upon her
To release the memories of all that horror, unknown to her at the time
How devastatingly it would present itself one day in the future, now present
They say time heals all wounds but I think they mean the ones you nurture
The ones you clean and dress regularly until the scab heals over
And the scar becomes but a faded piece of what was, and you no longer feel it
You can only compartmentalize for so long, and the body breaks down
Opens the spaces you thought you’d hidden from and releases the ugly mess
As she peers into the waters she contemplates her options
Drowning would never do and she’d rather swim than sink
One of her blessings – the glass is always half full and sparkling
She shines like the stars in the sky, there’s just the nagging pull today
Telling her it’s time for the ride of her life, and it’s not a joy ride on this day
She stands and walks along the pier, moving toward the perfect sky
Knowing she’s a phone call away from the one who will help her through this
She walks in prayer and hears a flute in the distance, one of her angel guides
Along her walk she meditates, she looks inside herself at the flame
And the flicker becomes a bright shining light
