My heart is mending today
My eyes, rest behind glasses
…taking their place
My lips swollen from attempting to make sense
of something
…that can never be named
or understood
And that
…is ok
I tugged my heart out and laid it at your feet
…showing you what I need
You shook your head and walked away
God’s whispering to follow this lead
“Please take my stubborn soul and guide me”
…I plead!
Kneeling until I could feel my bones
Carving creations into the pavement
I stood and saw
A butterfly with a halo
…a sign of love from my angel daughter
A dragon with his claws out
…a transferred protection, my brothers mark
An auburn wolf with eyes like mine
…a reflection of my inner courage
Decorating me like a glittering thesis
The bowtie completing her writing
The endless essay of my life and timing
Words trail me like the train of a wedding dress
Lifting me to redemption from the mess
As the grey erases
…in the sunshine of significance
I see I am not alone in this!
And you are all standing with me
Smiling
in a circle of opened hands
Releasing
a fluttering wild soul
We are giving healing a name,
…Freedom
The quotes, the words, the pics, oh God this is what perfect looks like. Iam glad Iam following you! Happy to connect! ❤

Wow, Kristin……… I am speechless! Sometimes a single ray of light can appear so bright, when showing up in the darkness and shows the path to a new life. When I started reading I saw you kneeling down and while I continued, you looked up, slowly stood up until you stood tall, smiling and looking at the world in curiousitiy.
