An Evolving Demise

This past year of late, I changed, as one would say- But untraceable to the outside world, Only I know the change. It’s been a journey of individuation, From a heart hurting demise- The sadness that I so foretold, Had opened up my eyes. Of days of tears, And weeks of longing, And the shadows that grew around me, My love for life was lesser then, Until I became free… I learned a life of unexpected ways, And that knowledge was truly power- But nothing changed that my soul of late Was blooming like a flower. Curiously, I’d begun the process Of understanding self- And the wonder of the world around, It had filled me with great wealth. As my soul egressed with life, And life bowed down to me- I realized then the power within, And I swore myself, fealty. From everything this year experienced, A single thought remains- Grace and kindness is the road to life, And nothing should be feigned.
