Because there was
no turning back,
I followed
each little piece
of my heart
just a little further
down —
all the way
as far as it would go —
until it dissolved
into me.

On the Edge of Timelessness
Out of silence,
we met ==
on the edge of timelessness.
For a moment,
I was not alone.
Then you faded back
into the silence.
And though my heart ached,
I found you again.
And we were one.
The Real Magic
To my surprise,
the real magic of life
didn’t come
in neatly wrapped packages
or at the end a long path.
It came in the last bit
of courage to hold on
a little longer
and to take
just one more step —
not knowing where
it would lead.
It came in the quiet,
tender moments
I couldn’t have planned
and couldn’t imagine
having missed.
Where Pain Merges With Tenderness
Just past my thoughts
of healing,
beyond the stories
on the surface
or perhaps in the middle —
a little deeper down
where pain merges
with tenderness,
I found the me
I once lost,
this me
underneath.
Never Broken
In my search for healing,
I found I could stand
in anything.
I found I could
remain connected
with my deepest heart,
even when the reflection I saw
didn’t match —
when holding it
tired my tireless spirit
and letting go wasn’t an option
just yet.
And there, in that holding,
I found I could
never be broken.
