This stillness is sweet.
It almost feels like a sickness.
It leaves a bitter taste
yet leaves you in desperation for more.
Did you know you were the cause
of the cave in?
The cave in that buried my heart
but at the same time created that light
that now shines down upon it,
Like a moment of revelation,
shining into the darkest corners.
Corners that I am no longer afraid of.
If only I would have listened
to the quiet voice
that softly whispers,
Its ok to love
It's ok not to want to let go
It's ok to create a freedom
It's ok
I have tried for so long,
I have wandered...
confused
   helpless
      hurting
But I no longer wander.
Gone are my days of lonely desert,
dry and barren.
My thirst is now quenched.
My eyes soft with tears.
Tears of relief and gratitude
for the refreshment that now touches my lips.
Its the taste of what I've known before
and what I have been missing
finally flooding it's way
back through
all of me.
