On a journey to discover
the grace of inner truth,
consider the days
when stormy grays
clouded the sky
to flood the pools
of yesterday’s tears
with over-grown
water droplets.
A discolored green
and darkened landscape
signify the sorrow
of bruised egos
that infiltrate
a current state
of being.
Consuming and transforming
thought to belief,
A swirling
whirlwind of darkness,
infuses the mind
with the frightening
blackened scenery,
dripping with
unworthiness.
Alas,
as urgency arises,
attention to the past
is needed to reveal
how a zoomed-in scope
may fall short
in its forecast.
Holding space for validation,
and a rise in elevation
uncovers a paradise
where the sun's
illumination
graces charcoal
and dances across
the clouds that once
emitted shadows.
Flashes of bright colors
fill an ocean sky.
Reds, pinks and oranges shine
as the light
from golden radiance
warms up the in-
and out-side.
The ascent of an airplane
serves as a reminder;
the truth is always there.
A spectrum of hues
lie above the storm.
Lifted through
self-forgiveness
for allowing
clouds to form.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Do you know that your words do more than merely recite sounds? I hear music and singing in your voice!
