Golden Maps~ Brittny Woss

 

She’s looking into her past now

She’s painting a picture

The clouds that once blocked her true vision

Have suddenly vanished

She opened her eyes once again, as if for the very first time

She’s seeing something true and real this time

Looking back in time, she learned to see the future and comprehend her present

It never was immensely as dark as she perceived it to be

She had never been actually alone.

There was a guardian angel with her

Holding her tender, seemingly, little and  blood-drenched hands

Her knuckles tired from dragging and punching

Her mind sore and shallow feeling

She just didn’t understand she was never alone

Always there……. With her every ragged breath

The past can be a resourceful tool

Our failings can lead us to a brighter tomorrow

If we can only use them as our advantage.

The light doesn’t have to be an evanescence.

We can reach out and take it if it’s what we whole-heartedly desire.

No more anger and resentment has she.

She’s accepted and learned to let it go.

She became more beautiful and golden with each little change

One day, as she looked back, she realized she had never been ever left unkempt

She remembers the conversations and sanctuary she found amidst the angst of growing up

In those short intermittent moments or days she remembers love

She remembers something so pure it makes her whole body rejoice

She now sees what she should’ve always seen

She was loved completely and entirely by something much greater than this

That love is what kept her here and it still keeps ME here today

 

 ~all of our lives have a major purpose. Some of us have seen tradegy; some of us have lived long or short lives. Some of us have seen it all, heard it all, loved, haven’t loved, felt broken, became healed and whole again. In more straight-forward terms, life is an onward journey. Sometimes, life is full of grace and happiness. Also, sometimes, it’s full of joy. It can also be all that you make it. Life is a lesson to be learned….
