The Awakening
When you decide to face it, remember you're equipped to move through it.
At a Certain Point there’s no Running from it.
When You Decide to Stop and Turn around,
Take a Deep Breath
Acknowledge the fear
The Heartbreak
The Longing for Difference
The Wish of a Better World.
At a Certain Point the tears will fall
They’ll fall from the Pain,
The Desires
The Beliefs
The Comforts
The Brokenness
The Hope
The Doubt.
At a certain point You’ll realize that This is All that’s it
Our Choice to Love or Hate.
The way You See it will Say the most About You
Not your Situation
Not what Others did
Not what Others are doing
Not what Others will do.
At a certain Point You will See
Why You are were Running in the First place
Reflected in All You’re Running Through.
About the Creator
Lyn
Perhaps I have a fear of being forgotten, or maybe it's the subconscious cries of my ancestors who couldn't speak for themselves. Either way, I can't afford to make the shadows my home.
May peace be with you, fellow traveler.
Don't wait.
Dithering dilly-dally ducks drown darkly.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

that's so true. we run from place to another always evading and always searching but rarely "finding".
