Freedom at Last

From under the watchful moon of the evening, as the stars littered the night sky, there lay a twinkling glow of hope for better days. She laid upon her lips a whisper of a wish and as the wind started to pick up and take it away spreading the land with the magic of her song, a silent tear slipped down her face from knowing all she had to lose to be right here in this moment.

This very moment where she knew she was safe, where rage did not have to paint her soul from all the battles she had to fight before. Where sadness didn't have to grip her heart from all the things she had left unforgiven in herself and at the hands of others.

She set it all free into the night awaiting for the dawn of a new day to light her path and show her the way to freedom. Where she can begin again, where she can be unchained and allow the beauty of who she truly is light the way. Where compassion flows through her finger tips in place of the anger she allowed many times before.

Supposedly there is something to say about a women who is capable of surviving great darkness, for in the darkness is where you truly learn the essence of peace and she allowed it to swarm through her body massaging the top of her head all the way down to the tip of her toes, she smiled.

In this very moment whether she played the villain or the victim she knew that non of it mattered anymore, because laying right here in the soft stillness of her soul she knew she won her heart over the war in her mind.

As she deeply breathed in the cool crisp air of the night she released all that was meant to define her, placed upon her from all the times she was forced to live on her knees in the moments where she was left begging for anyone to see her.

She didn't need it anymore, for what she now carries is worth far more then anyone's opinion of who she was, because it was her that fought to climb out of the dark hole she spent so many years digging for herself while desperately searching for just a glimmer of love.

A love that was meant to light up her whole world like those of the fairy tales she laid in bed at night as a child dreaming upon, not understanding that the very same love was already residing deep inside of herself.

With knowing that now, as she looks back at the destruction of her past she understands why it was meant to be her journey and in place of all the sorry's that she once felt for herself, now lays an abundance of gratitude as she gives thanks to the heavens above.

As she wiped the single tear that fell from her eyes she knew it was time to look forward to her future and release all of the things she was not meant to take with her that at one time she tried so desperately to hold on to, the things that regardless of how the story may have played out brought more weakness upon her then it ever cared to build strength.

She rose upon her feet for the last time and as she took her first step into what is the unknown of her new beginning she did not hold fear, because she knew that what was in front of her was going to be far better then anything she had to leave behind.
