Shades of blue
emotional turmoil
A hopeless shade of blue, intertwining with the last vestiges of light, I find myself tangled in the web of memories, each thread a pulse of emotion, an ache, a whisper — the fate that serves the thread of life.
I traverse a landscape cluttered with remnants of what once was: emotions of sadness and fear fading at the edges — an expression etched in the fabric of my mind, the war of my mind.
There are moments where I stand at a cliff, teetering between despair and a fragile hope of being. I was reminded that grief could wear a thousand faces—sometimes it is the familiar weight of a loved one's absence, and other times it manifests as an insistent whisper of inadequacy.
~Pain can morph into an understanding~
I feel the alchemy of transformation, a recognizable mindset where turmoil is not an affliction, but a catalyst for growth. I become both a seeker and a sanctuary, I learn to navigate the terrain of uncertainty and release the sense of lostness.
I am both tempest and calm. I shouldn't need to pick a side. I am an overflow of emotions, searching for an anchor. That will ground me in the unpredictable sea of being. And I surrender, to the beautiful disarray — of being alive~

"a recognizable mindset where turmoil is not an affliction, but a catalyst for growth." ~ I have been rolling int his place for weeks, I really am grateful to fall into the lap of your well sewn words today.
The thousand faces of grief was a very poignant insight.
I love alchemy. The spells and changes of life interacting is countless in its manifestations. I love when someone takes a very normal word and makes it their own-"lostness"-love it.
