the inner path
to a new discovery
looking for pathways
to pass through nameless gates
blocked from my view
for so long
so now is the time to carry on
opening them up little by little
to see part of the rainbow
not the whole thing
as I did not deserve the full range
yet
have to improvise first
talk through pain and opacity
where nothing is sure
as my own reflection
in the mirror
usually, a true tone view
only sometimes
it looks like I haven’t tried enough
lashing myself out
for it
but being able to raise
still
believing
in great things
that are to happen to me

This path is the one which leads to healing, within and without. The very acknowledgement of it begins to bathe one's surroundings in gentle light, no matter what darkness is behind. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
