Blooming Wings
Lost and only just surviving
tired and broken; hardly thriving
Reaching for something to change how I feel
finding no comfort; unable to heal
Out of darkness I have grown
blooming wings all on my own
Learning to trust and accepting fear
ghosts of the past no longer appear
Dismissing judgement from convicting eyes
with resilience I will always rise
Out of darkness I have grown
attempting flight all on my own
Embracing a life that was always mine
I am found where my soul can shine
Out of darkness I have grown
mastering flight all on my own
tired and broken; hardly thriving
Reaching for something to change how I feel
finding no comfort; unable to heal
Out of darkness I have grown
blooming wings all on my own
Learning to trust and accepting fear
ghosts of the past no longer appear
Dismissing judgement from convicting eyes
with resilience I will always rise
Out of darkness I have grown
attempting flight all on my own
Embracing a life that was always mine
I am found where my soul can shine
Out of darkness I have grown
mastering flight all on my own

good morning beautiful Mel this is a very inspiring poem
I have a lot of issues and fear the very thing you've accomplished

Thank you lovely Brenda. Don't let the poem fool you...sometimes I fly right into a tree! lol. But there is no success without failure.
"When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of the unknown, remember faith is knowing one of two things will happen...either there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly."

Much love to you.

Your writing is taking off as well! There's a remarkable difference from when you first began posting to DUP. Glad to see you still at it, Mel.
