Following My Light

away from darkness

I told my dark thoughts I needed space

Some time away to learn to heal.

It was harder than I thought

but once I understood

that it was me who

determined my

path in life,

my light

shone

    Dear Hz ~ I've been away 'Healing'...but, lovely stories such as yours have given me the inspiration to come back into the VillageBucket once again. J-bud in.l.a.

    Owning our lives seems like such a leap of faith. But what other pathway forward is there? Loved how your Nonet built to a positive concluding vibe, Heather!
