I wandered through the forest
when I felt it call my
name
Knowing I'd
never be the same
and that it's such a easy place
for someone to get lost
From across I saw the beauty
And the wind it
whispered to me
But as I traveled further deeper
I saw it for what it
was
Sunlight
shielded by the treetops
Creatures hiding in the shadows
The path
obscured by the underbrush
And my feet, they feel so heavy in the mud
So unsteady, as the shrubs
and sticks and roots spread
out
and try to trip me up
Ran through brambles and thorns that grabbed my flesh
Then took a breath because I knew that I could not give
up yet
Felt a pulling from within me
as I stepped out of the
depths,
someone guiding my steps,
and just as quickly as I wandered in
I found
that I had left
And made it.
I could see the
ocean and I knew that by the sea
I could wash the dirt and all the blood away
from me
It was difficult, and stung,
As the salt filled my wounds, water in my lungs
But after I was through, I knew that I had been renewed
And even though my skin was screaming, there is always
pain in healing
Because,
No one ever said that cleaning up was easy.
So I let the current take me far away
I discover peace amongst the stars and waves
I awaken
when the sunlight gives birth to the brightest day
A day of new beginnings, and I know I'm on my way.
